SolidWorks Named in START-IT's 25 Hottest Companies List
 CONCORD,
MA, June 16, 2008 - Building on a string of industry accolades for the
company and its products, SolidWorks Corporation has been named by START-IT
magazine as one of the publication’s 2008 Hottest Companies.
The Hottest Companies Awards honor software and technology providers
whose innovative applications or products have benefited the manufacturing
industry. Judges evaluated companies based on a variety of criteria,
including revenue growth, important customer wins, and significant events
and accomplishments during the past year.
The Hottest Companies Awards recognized 25 winners for 2008. “The
companies who have been named ‘hot’ this year are among the leading-edge
technology providers within manufacturing. These innovative companies are
driving manufacturing solutions into the next generation,” said Peggy
Smedley, editorial director of START-IT. “As the manufacturing industry
evolves, so must the technology companies that provide solutions to advanced
manufacturers. The 25 winning companies this year are having a great impact
on the manufacturing space as they strive to provide the most complete,
innovative technology possible to their customers.”
In April, SolidWorks 2008, the latest version of the leading 3D CAD
software, won the 2007 NASA Tech Briefs Readers’ Choice Product of the Year
Award. More than 190,000 readers chose SolidWorks 2008 as the product they
thought was the most significant new product introduced to the engineering
community in 2007.
In February, Control Engineering magazine revealed that SolidWorks 2008
captured the most readers’ votes in its Engineers’ Choice Award in the
application and programming software/applications category. Each year
Control Engineering receives hundreds of new product announcements, spanning
the entire spectrum of industrial automation and control technologies.
Through the magazine’s annual Engineers’ Choice Award competition, readers
decide which products are the most noteworthy and will have the greatest
impact on their business.
The industry has also recently recognized SolidWorks customers for their
achievements. Fresno Valves & Castings Inc., E.J. Ajax and Sons Inc.,
Kimberley Kampers Pty Ltd, and Livingston & Haven were recently named to
