ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Sept. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Baxa Corporation was recognized as a Top Company in an award ceremony held today at the Denver Center for Performing Arts. The annual competition, established by Colorado Biz magazine in 1988, highlights the best of Colorado businesses -- those demonstrating financial and operational excellence as well as a commitment to giving back to their communities.
This year’s competition resulted in 27 finalists in nine categories. Baxa Corporation was a finalist with CoorsTek Inc., Gates Corp. and Silicon Mountain Memory in the Manufacturing category.
In his acceptance speech, Greg Baldwin, company Chairman and CEO, acknowledged the importance of strong community support to growing a successful business. Thanking the Denver area financial, legal and educational industries, he noted that Baxa relies primarily on local talent and businesses to achieve its goals.
The September 2005 issue of Colorado Biz magazine includes profiles of each of the Top Company finalists, as well as an in-depth article on Baxa Corporation’s story of success. The company attributes its financial success to an intense focus on safety and innovation in its niche of serving hospital pharmacies. That success has allowed Baxa to nurture a culture of giving that serves both the immediate front range community, as well as its healthcare customers worldwide.
