Findlay firm hits fast-growing list

10/19/2005

FINDLAY A Hancock County marketing firm has been named to Inc. magazine s Inc. 500 list of the fastest-growing private fi rms in the United States. Twenty-two other Ohio firms are named, too.

Corporate Research International Inc., of Findlay, a company that uses mystery shoppers and computer technology to provide clients with data about their operations, is No. 396 on the magazine s newest list to be released today . The publication said the company

had 2004 sales of $4.7 million and a four-year revenue growth

rate of 346 percent. It has 115 workers in Findlay.

Mike Mallett , company owner and CEO, said making the list is

very exciting, but he likes to keep the fi rm s profi le low, a trait

that clients prefer. I think the Inc. thing is about to change all

that, he said.
