A government contractor based in Westmoreland County and a vinyl manufacturing company headquartered in Spotsylvania County were recognized this week as among the state's fastest-growing companies.
Imagine One Technology & Management Ltd. and Mid Atlantic Vinyl Products Inc. were each named this week to the Virginia Chamber of Commerce's 2008 "Fantastic Fifty" list of 50 of the fastest-growing companies in the state.
The companies were judged on a four-year sales history. Eligible companies must be privately held, headquartered in Virginia and have sales between $200,000 and $100 million.
