APPLIED TECHNOLOGY
ASSOCIATES AMONG TOP FLYING 40 THIRD YEAR IN A ROW
ALBUQUERQUE, NM
-- On June 23, Applied Technology Associates (ATA) received the 22nd slot on
the Albuquerque Journal Flying 40 list of growing technology companies in
New Mexico.
The award was
presented to Anthony Tenorio, President/CEO and principal owner of ATA, at
an award luncheon held at the Albuquerque Hilton on June 23. This is the
third year in a row ATA has been awarded a slot on the Flying 40 list.
Tenorio said, “Being
on the Flying 40 has given ATA recognition that has been invaluable in our
relationship with current and prospective customers.”
In May, ATA received
the National Prime Contractor of the Year award for 2004 from the U.S. Small
Business Administration at the SBA Expo held in Orlando, FL. The award and
the consecutive three year slot on the Flying 40 list coincide with a shift
in focus for ATA from a services company to a services and products company.
Three years ago, ATA decided it would begin the development of subsystems
utilizing its angular rate sensors, actuators, and proprietary products. The
ranking ATA received reflects a 53 percent growth in revenue between the
years 1999 and 2003.
