Milwaukee, WI - September 14, 2011

Graphics Systems Corporation was recognized by Inc. 500|5000 as one of the “Fastest Growing Private Companies in America.”  Despite the economic downturn, Graphics Systems maintained a substantial growth rate over the past three years and continues to be the Midwest’s leading provider of SolidWorks 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software training and services.

The Inc. 500|5000 is the most complete portrait of growing private companies.  This ranking showcases the “Engines of the Economy,” honoring companies and industries that added the most jobs, experienced a high growth rate, and maintained economic stability.

There are nearly seven million privately held firms in America.  To qualify for the 2011 Inc. 500|5000,
companies must have generated revenue of at least $100,000 in 2007, and at least $2 million in 2010.  They must also be privately held, for profit, based in the U.S., and independent.  Graphics Systems has successfully been named to this exclusive list each year they’ve applied.

Graphics Systems’ owner and president, David Kasinskas, states, “This honor can be attributed to our strong customer dedication and commitment to their long-term success.  Our customers understand how vital 3D engineering technology is, and their investment in our solutions has not only driven
their success, but ours as well.  We are fortunate to offer world-class solutions from SolidWorks, our complimentary products, and services, which lead the way in engineering technology.”
