Optrics' Press Release

Consulting clients on how to effectively maximize the use of computer and Internet technology in their businesses has brought national recognition to Edmonton-headquartered Optrics Engineering. The Internet-based engineering firm has been identified as one of Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by PROFIT: Your Guide to Business Success magazine in their 18th annual ranking.

“We are thrilled to have our company achieve the # 44 position on PROFIT 100,” says Optrics Engineering principal Bording Ostergaard. “For a company that has never met 99.9 per cent of our clients face-to-face, this accomplishment has come about solely through the trust our clients have in our ability to solve and deliver on their IT challenges.”

“Our expertise is assisting our clients to make the best use of available computer and network technology for their applications,” says Ostergaard with the company’s revenues on target to achieve $5 million this year.

Ranking Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by five-year revenue growth, the Profit 100 profiles the country’s most successful growth companies. Published in the June issue of PROFIT 100 and online at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 100 is Canada’s largest annual celebration of entrepreneurial achievement.

“In 2001, we specifically chose the World Wide Web as the appropriate vehicle to showcase our expertise, products and consulting services to the world,” says Ostergaard. “We believe we were among the first Canadian engineering companies to commit 100 percent to an Internet-based marketing strategy and it is most gratifying to see that this early business decision was a key strategic move for our company. Current success has come about through the hard work, commitment and creativity of our staff and current growth rates are continuing this trend.”

“The PROFIT 100 are role models for anyone who wants to seize today’s best business opportunities,” says Ian Portsmouth, editor of PROFIT. “By differentiating their products and applying creative management thinking, Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies are outpacing the competition at home and abroad.”
