Inc. Magazine Recognizes Gila Corporation as a Top 5000 Fastest Growing Company

Gila Corporation, through its two business units, MSB and Gila Group, today announced that it has been awarded the prestigious honor of being recognized as one of the top 5000 fastest growing private companies in America for the second year in a row.

"It is a privilege to be among the Inc. 5000 again. Our entire team is stronger than ever and this award is a direct result of us realigning our internal processes in 2007 to better focus on the needs of our clients," said Patrick J. Swanick, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

The 2008 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2004 through 2007. To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based, privately held, and independent — not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies.

Each year Inc. Magazine compiles a list of the fastest growing private companies in the US. This year, Gila made it well within the 5000 mark as it closed in the top 3000 fastest growing companies. Gila Corporation, headquartered in Austin, Texas, is a leading provider of outsourced revenue recovery products and services. The Company provides specialized collection services for governmental entities and financial institutions nationwide.
