Semiconductor X-ray metrology manufacturer chosen for Deloitte Technology Fast 50 for third consecutive year


Jordan Valley Semiconductors LTD, has been named to the 2008 Deloitte Technology Fast 50 as one of the fastest-growing technology companies in Israel.  A manufacturer of next-generation x-ray based semiconductor metrology, Jordan Valley provides patented x-ray technology to leading semiconductor fabs worldwide. To determine the fastest growing companies, Deloitte reviewed fiscal year revenues over five years (2003-2007), calculated the revenue growth percentage over those five years, and compared the growth of technology companies.

 

“The significance of our ranking among the fastest Israeli 50 goes beyond the recognition of our growth rate,” commented Isaac Mazor, Jordan Valley’s founder and CEO. “This is the third year in a row since 2006 that we made the list.” This fact reflects our long term growth record. Additionally, it is worth noting that our 5-year cumulative growth, which earned Jordan Valley 34th place, amounted to 386%. This rate represents a compounded aggregate annual growth rate of 48%. While this growth is relatively moderate, compared to the companies at the top of the list, it is a strong indication of Jordan Valley’s sound and responsible management and its sustainable business model.”

 

The Deloitte Technology Fast 50 is a program that recognizes and profiles fast growing technology companies.  The program ranks the 50 fastest growing technology companies in Israel, public or private, and includes all related industry sectors: Communications; Software; Semiconductors; Components and Electronics; Life Sciences; Internet; and Computer Peripherals.
