DiversityBusiness.com, the nation’s leading multicultural internet site, recently named Phacil as one of the Top African American Owned Businesses in the United States (Div100).
The Div100 is the 8th annual listing of the Nation’s top 100 African American-owned businesses. The companies listed on the Div100 represent the Nation’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
“This is very humbling,” stated Rafael Collado, CEO of Phacil. “It is great to see that Phacil ranks among the Top African American Businesses in this Country.”
“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.
The Div500
The Div100 is a classification that represents the top 100 African American-owned businesses in the U.S., 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. The Div100 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.
“We appreciate this honor and recognition,” said Sascha Mornell, President of Phacil. “We share this honor with our employees, as well as with our customers, without whom this would not be possible. We would like to thank all of them on our behalf.”
Phacil will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s “8th Annual Multicultural Business Conference,” taking place April 23 - 25, 2008, at Disney’s BoardWalk Resort in Orlando, Florida.
