With a growth rate of 452.05% equinux reaches place 32 at the Deloitte Technology Fast 50 Award
Munich, October 26th, 2006 – With a growth rate of 452.05% equinux reaches place 32 of the fastest-growing technology companies in Germany and is among the Top 3 companies within Bavaria. The placement is based on the cumulated growth rates of the last five years (2001-2005).


Till Schadde, CEO of equinux judges this nomination in a very positive way: "After winning the Apple Design Award 2006 in the most competitive category "Best Mac OS X User Experience" with our eBay auctioning solution, iSale, we are very proud to be among the 50 fastest-growing businesses in Germany. Thanks to inspiring employees, great software products and a successful world wide distribution network, we are definitely on the right path."

“Our Technology Fast 50 Award recognises companies and business figures who combine initiative, innovation and a willingness to take risk with technical authority”, explained Dieter Schlereth, Managing Partner for Deloitte’s Technology, Media and Telecommunications Division. “The ranking criteria for these growth companies include cumulative percentage revenue growth. Revenue must also have totalled at least € 50,000 in 2001 and € 1,000,000 in 2004.”

Overall, the Fast 50 companies created 2,994 jobs across Germany from 2004 to 2005 alone.

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 programme was first launched in the USA in 1995. 11 countries in the Deloitte Network now run the awards programme. Germany first launched its Technology Fast 50 Awards four years ago. Alongside these national awards, Deloitte also organises the Technology Fast 500 programme for the North America, Europe and Asia-Pacific regions. The next European Fast 500 Awards ceremony will be held in Paris on 27 November. These awards have become an international quality seal for corporate success in the technology sector.
