Baxa Corporation Honored as Top Company

Baxa Corporation was recognized as a Top Company in an award ceremony held Thursday at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. The annual competition, established by Colorado Biz magazine in 1988, highlights the best of Colorado businesses ? those demonstrating financial and operational excellence as well as a commitment to giving back to their communities.

This year?s competition resulted in 27 finalists in nine categories. Baxa Corporation was a finalist with CoorsTek Inc., Gates Corp. and Silicon Mountain Memory in the Manufacturing category. In his acceptance speech, Greg Baldwin, company Chairman and CEO, acknowledged the importance of strong community support to growing a successful business.

Baxa Corporation has demonstrated double-digit growth in each of its 30 years of operation. The company relocated its headquarters and manufacturing to the Denver metro area in 1981 with just eight employees. Since then, it has expanded to 350 employees in offices around the US, Europe and Canada, with sales to more than 45 countries.
