Local Diversity Business Named and Ranked 94
among
Illinois’s Top 100 Diversity Owned Business List

 

Lombard, Illinois, May 27, 2008 In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural internet site, recently named COM2 Computers & Technologies as one of the Top 100 Diversity Owned Businesses in the state of Illinois (Div100)”. 

 

The Div100 is the 8th annual listing of the Illinoiss top 100 diversity-owned businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the Illinois’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with diversity owned companies.

 

The Impact of Diversity Business

“Diversity businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with,” said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities.  These are the new leaders in American business.”

 

Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, Fortune 1000 corporations throughout the country have recognized that buying products and services from diversity owned companies positively impacts their business. Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.

 

Carmen Castillo, President of Superior Design International, Inc., Florida commented

 “These groups of companies represent the organizational spirit that drives our economy and even more. It offers insights into a vastness of cultures and an exchange of ideas that are so valuable in helping me to understand how to reach the needs of today's consumers”.

 

Companies of all sizes have been entrusting COM2 Computers to handle their computer scrap, computer recycling, asset recovery, PC disposal, and excess inventory remarketing. We are closely networked with nationally known dismantlers and licensed precious metal refiners, electrical component manufacturers and computer related peripheral dealers.
