Power Technology was a finalist for the Arkansas Business of the Year Award at an annual banquet held 26 February 2008
Power Technology was one of only five companies out of hundreds to be selected as a finalist for the Arkansas Business of the Year Award in Category II.
Power Technology has been designing and manufacturing laser diode products for almost forty years from its Arkansas headquarters.
This year's awards banquet marks the second time in three years that Power Technology has been recognised as a leader within the state of Arkansas.
The annual banquet honouring the state's finalist hosts the state's top business executives, and awards companies, non-profit organisations, and business executives for their achievements.
The Arkansas Business of the Year Awards were founded in 1988 by Arkansas Business, a publication detailing all aspects of business in the state of Arkansas as well as surrounding regions, and are given to businesses and executives that help the business community grow and prosper.
"It is an extreme honour to be recognised as a finalist for the Arkansas Business of the Year Award.
"This represents one of the most distinguished accomplishments in the state of Arkansas, and we are honored to have been selected as a finalist for the second time," said Power Technology CEO, Thomas Burgess.
"Accomplishments such as this validate the impact that Power Technology has made on our community and our state."
