I am very pleased that Advanced Waste Services, Inc. was recognized as a Fastest Growing Firm in the greater Milwaukee area by The Milwaukee Business Journal for 2009. AWS, along with 23 other Milwaukee-area firms, was honored at a luncheon on October 30 at The Pfister Hotel. We were extremely pleased that we were able to show a growth rate in 2008 over 2006 of 50%.
In order to be considered for this award, a Milwaukee area firm must have annual revenue of between $5 million and $500 million, have shown revenue growth in each of the last 3 years and have a total net profit over the 3-year period. This is a repeat win for AWS, having made this prestigious list in 2005, 2007 and 2008 as well.
Our inclusion on the list this year was especially gratifying for us, as this was a year of significant rebuilding for us following the September 2008 fire that gutted our plant in New Castle, Pennsylvania. Our revenue from that plant alone, doubled from $6 million to $12 million this past year, despite the challenges of rebuilding and expanding.
We are both pleased and proud of this accomplishment, and we are grateful to our clients for allowing us to continue to serve your needs and to make memorable experiences for you. We owe our success to the trust you have placed in us, and we look forward to continuing our partnership well into the future.
Mike, congratulations to you and your team.
