Friday, January 23rd, 2009

Raleigh, NC – Oak Grove Technologies proudly announces they have been named to five Top Business Lists for 2009. In recognition of the economic power of privately held businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading business-to-business internet site, named Oak Grove No. 27 on the list of Top 100 Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses in the United States, No. 90 on the Top 500 List of Veteran-Owned Businesses in the United States, No. 8 on the Top 100 List of Disabled Owned Businesses in the United States, No. 10 on the Top 50 List of Diversity Owned Businesses in North Carolina, and No. 100 on the Top 100 List of Privately-held Businesses in North Carolina.

This is the 9th annual listing of the United States top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com. Ranging in revenue size from $1 million to over $989 million, the companies listed on the Top Business Lists represent the Nation’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a privately held business is small or insignificant. Winners are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with small businesses.

“Entrepreneurs are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with,” said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business.”

These lists are a classification that represents the top small businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large organizational buyers throughout the country that do business with multicultural, small and women-owned businesses use the list. The List is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation’s leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.

The winning companies will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s “9th Annual Multicultural Business Conference”, taking place April 29 – May 1, 2009 at the Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Florida.
