LAKE ZURICH, Ill., June 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Paragon Micro was named one of the "Fast 50" by Crain's, an annual list of the Chicago-area businesses that have had the greatest increases in sales revenue over the past 5 years. Paragon Micro made the list at #11, with revenue growth of 1264% from 2009 to 2013. The Fast 50 list, which includes both public and privately held companies, was published on June 2, 2014. Paragon finished 2013 with annual sales revenue of $98.3 million, which made it the 13^th largest company by revenue on the Fast 50 list.

"We've had such strong, consistent growth because we're the best choice for our customers for sourcing and managing IT solutions," said Jeff Reimer, President of Paragon Micro. "We give our customers what they value----more experienced account managers, single-source procurement for any product, international capability—and our consistent growth has made us one of the fastest growing resellers for the major OEMs, such as HP, Dell, EMC, Microsoft, and Lenovo."

The exceptional revenue growth record over the past five years validates Paragon's focus on hiring experienced Account Managers who have a track record of accountability and strong customer service, and who are especially well trained on the latest technology. Paragon's Reimer expects the strong sales growth to continue, enabled by investments in the past year in expanding the staff and facilities at the firm's three sales offices.
