The Robart Companies Named among Georgia and the
United States Top Woman Owned and Top Small Businesses
DULUTH, Georgia NOVEMBER 2005, In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations’ leading multicultural internet site, recently named THE ROBART COMPANIES as one of the top woman-owned businesses and top small business locally and nationally.
The ranking is the 6th annual listing of Georgia and the nation’s top woman-owned businesses, top small businesses, and top diversity owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $1.5 million to over $2.5 billion, the companies listed represent the United States and Georgia’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a woman-owned and or a minority-owned business is small or insignificant. Members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with women and minority owned companies.
The Impact of Woman Owned Business
Major corporations wishing to increase market share realize it is no longer just “the right thing” to do business with diversity owned companies. Affected by recent economic and demographic trends and changes, 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.
“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. “It’s no longer only about the Fortune 1000. 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.”
The Top Woman List
This is a classification that represents the top woman-owned businesses in the US and Georgia, in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large organizational buyers throughout the country that do business with multicultural and women-owned businesses use the list. This list is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
