One Stop Systems Ranks No. 52 on the 2007 Inc. 5,000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies within the San Diego Metro Region

  • Company earns ranking due to its three-year sales growth of 105%

ESCONDIDO, Calif., August 23, 2007Inc. today ranked One Stop Systems No. 3,066 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. Within the San Diego metro region, One Stop Systems ranked No. 52 on the Inc. 5000 list. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan.  “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.

One Stop Systems designs and manufactures custom and semi-custom computing systems and components for converged communications, industrial control and defense/security applications. As a technology leader in PCI Express components, One Stop Systems has become a premier provider of PCIe-over-cable products for the embedded market.
