OptiPro Systems OptiPro Systems Ranked #37 Among Rochester's Top 100 Companies 

Every year, the Rochester Business Alliance and KPMG LLP sponsor the Rochester Top 100. This list recognizes the top 100 privately held businesses in the Rochester area, based on the three most recent years of revenue growth. At least $1 million in revenue must have been earned for each of those years, and both dollar and percentage growth are considered when determining these rankings. The 2009 Rochester Top 100 was recently announced, and OptiPro Systems made the list at #37! This ranking reflects OptiPro's desire to ensure that all of its customers, whether it be machine tool, Mastercam, or optics customers are completely satisfied with the purchase they make as well as the service they receive before, during and after the sale.
