MountainWest Capital Network (MWCN) announced the “Utah 100” this week, highlighting the state’s 100 fastest growing companies, along with recognitions for top revenue growth and “emerging elite” status.

“Utah’s economic dynasty is evident through businesses of all shapes and sizes,” said Val Hale, executive director of the Governor’s Office of Economic Development. “We congratulate Utah’s team of winning entrepreneurs for their hard work, innovation and success.”

This year’s 10 ten fastest growing companies include Crest Financial, Boostability, Onsite Care, Inc., Xima Software, eLearning Brothers LLC and Simplicity Laser. Vivint, Ancestry.com and NuSkin were among the top 15 companies with largest five-year revenue growth. The 2015 “Emerging Elite” companies included NUVI social media analytics and Alterra pest control.

The variety of industries represented at the Utah 100 celebration reflects Utah’s economic diversity—the state now ranks third in the nation.

“Equally important to bringing in new businesses and workers is growing what we already have,” said Ben Hart, managing director of business services at GOED. “Through a variety of GOED programs, we target our six strategic industry clusters for sustainable growth statewide. We are truly invested in Utah companies and are thrilled about all of their successes.”
