Ambios Technology, Inc.

Inc. today ranked Ambios Technology, Inc. number 3014 on its annual ranking of the 5000 fastest-growing private companies in the country. The list is the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy -- America's independent-minded entrepreneurs. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

"Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism," said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. "The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth."

"We are deeply gratified to be included in this distinguished list of fast growing private US companies," said Ambios Technology, Inc.'s President and CEO Patrick O'Hara. "Our addition to this list and our recent Frost and Sullivan Entrepreneurial Company Award recognizes our hard work, commitment to our customers, and execution of our business fundamentals." Ambios Technology, Inc. is a provider of world class high resolution surface measurement and visualization systems to academic and industrial research customers across the globe. With more than 700 systems installed to date in nearly every industrialized country, Ambios Technology, Inc. is emerging as a substantial provider of measurement solutions to the nanotech and microelectronics marketplace.

The 5000 companies that made the list reported aggregate revenue of $185 billion and median three-year growth of 147 percent. Most important, the 2008 Inc. 5000 companies were engines of job growth, having created more than 826,033 jobs since those companies were founded.
