Harman Stove Company was recognized as one of the Top Fifty Fastest Growing Companies in Central Pennsylvania in the eighth-annual list, released this week by the Central Penn Business Journal.

In order to be eligible for nomination, companies needed to show revenue of at least $500,000 in each of the fiscal years ending 2001, 2002, and 2003 and show revenue growth in 2003, as compared to 2001 (a three year period). Eligible companies were to be for-profit entities headquartered in Cumberland, Dauphin, Lancaster, Lebanon, Perry or York County.

Nominees were then ranked according to revenue growth over the three-year period of 2001-2003. Both dollar and percentage increases were taken into consideration. This ranking formula, implemented by Seligman Friedman & Company P.C., led to recognition of the 2004 Top Fifty Fastest Growing Companies, consisting of both large and small companies.

The 2004 Top Fifty Fastest Growing Companies list was published, in rank order and with information on their financial growth, which will appear in a special supplement to the October 29 th issue of the Central Penn Business Journal.
