"This is wonderful recognition for our company," said Solid Cactus Co-Founder and President Scott Sanfilippo. "We never set out to be a fast growing company; we merely wanted to be the very best at what we do. Our success has led to more success. One unique feature of the Internet is how fast the word gets around about your company. Be it good or bad, people find out and respond accordingly. We are honored with what the Inc. 500 listings mean. They mean that we’re doing things right and succeeding along the way."

The 2007 Inc. 500 list and profiles are available in the September issue of Inc. and http://www.inc.com/inc500.
