Local Business Gains National Recognition
Local Diversity Business Named among Nation’s Top
Minority Business Lists
Herndon, Virginia — In recognition of the economic power of multicultural
businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural internet
site, recently named EMW, Inc. as one of the top minority owned businesses in
the United States.
DiversityBusiness.com has gathered lists of participating minority businesses
for the sixth annual listing of the Nation’s top minority owned businesses.
Ranging in annual revenue size from $1M to over $1B,
the companies listed on these lists represent the Nation’s top multicultural
earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is
small or insignificant. DiversityBusiness.com members are sought after by major
corporations wishing to increase spending with diversity owned companies.
This year EMW, Inc. made the DiversityBusiness.com lists in the following notable
categories: Top Small Business in Virginia (Div100SmallBiz-2005 – 17th
Place), Top Asian American Owned Businesses in America (Div100ASA-2005 – 96th
Place), Top Diversity Owned Businesses in America (Div500-2005 – 399th
Place), Top Small Businesses in America (Div500SmallBiz-2005 – 442nd Place).
The Impact of Diversity Business
Major corporations wishing to increase market share realize it is no longer just “the
right thing” to do business with diversity owned companies. Affected by
recent economic and demographic trends and changes, corporations throughout the
country have recognized that buying products and services from diversity owned
companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute
over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
“Diversity businesses and consumers 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. “It’s
no longer only about the Fortune 1000. 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.”
EMW shares this commitment of empowering our employees through corporate programs
to foster employee development, promotion, certification and accreditation. Our
clients understand our mission and our strong commitment to the employee and
their personal development. Hence, we are able to show managed and positive corporate
growth.
The Div100
The Div100 is a classification that represents the top 100 Asian American-owned
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 and women-owned businesses use the list.
The Div100 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
6thh Annual Multicultural Business Conference, taking place March 29 – March
31, 2006 at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada.
“The Div100 companies are the heroes of Asian American-owned business in
America,” said Kenton Clarke. “While Fortune magazine lists the best
companies for minorities to work for, we list the top businesses owned by minorities.
These are the people that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices,
building and strengthening their communities, providing jobs and helping to keep
the fabric of the U.S. economy together.”
