Toronto, ON (September 13, 2018) Canadian Business and Growth 500 have ranked Stealth/UCIT number 217 on the 30th annual Growth 500. This is the 10th year in a row the company has ranked, a distinction held by only a few businesses.
Ranking Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies by five-year revenue growth, the Growth 500 —formerly known as the PROFIT 500—profiles the country’s most successful entrepreneurial businesses. The Growth 500 is produced by Canadian Business. Winners are profiled in a special Growth 500 print issue of Canadian Business (packaged with the October issue of Maclean’s magazine) and online at Growth500.ca and CanadianBusiness.com.
Stealth/UCIT Online President Erik Mikkelsen said, “Being on the Growth 500 list for 10 straight years is a great honor. It’s been our focus on customer service, continuous improvement and building a great team of people that have allowed us to grow from a small Toronto-based security firm to the largest independent video monitoring company in North America. With new advancements in video technology, artificial intelligence and computer vision, we’re just getting started.”
“The companies on the 2018 Growth 500 are truly remarkable. Demonstrating foresight, innovation and smart management, their stories serve as a primer for how to build a successful entrepreneurial business today,” says Deborah Aarts, Growth 500 program manager. “As we celebrate 30 years of the Canada’s Fastest-Growing Companies program, it’s encouraging to see that entrepreneurship is healthier than ever in this country.”
In October 2016, UCIT merged with Dallas, Texas-based Stealth Monitoring, Inc., an innovative security company specializing in designing, installing and operating live remote video surveillance for commercial properties across the United States. Today, Stealth/UCIT is North America’s largest independent providers of remote video monitoring solutions, combining state-of-the-art technology with trained security operators who watch cameras in real time to deter live crimes in progress.
