The Connecticut Technology Council (CTC) and Marcum LLP has announced that Revolution Lighting Technologies ("Revolution Lighting") has made the Marcum Tech Top 40 (TT40) list of fastest growing technology companies in Connecticut. Revolution Lighting will be honored alongside 39 other TT40 companies at an awards ceremony September 22 at the Oakdale Theatre in Wallingford.

The Marcum Tech Top 40, now in its 9^th year, recognizes technology leaders in six industry sectors, including Advanced Manufacturing, Energy/Environmental, Life Sciences, New Media/Internet/Telecom, IT Services, and Software. Revolution Lighting has been named a Tech Top 40 winner in the Advanced Manufacturing category. Revolution Lighting is a recipient of this award due to strong revenue growth of at least $3 million in annual revenue as well as growth in each of the preceding four years.

"We are pleased to be named among the Marcum Tech Top 40 for the third consecutive year, and would like to thank the Connecticut Technology Council and Marcum LLP for recognizing our success with this award," said Robert LaPenta, Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, Revolution Lighting Technologies. "Revolution Lighting has achieved significant growth due to our continued success as a leader in the design, manufacture, marketing, and sale of our high efficiency LED lighting solutions throughout markets including commercial, industrial, education, healthcare and multi-family housing."

"The technology industry in Connecticut is a shining example of ingenuity, innovation and achievement," said Michael K. Brooder, CPA, partner-in-charge of Marcum's Hartford, Connecticut, office. "It is a privilege to partner with the Connecticut Technology Council to present the annual Marcum Tech Top 40 Awards and to provide a showcase for these companies to help pave the way for their continued future success."

Bruce Carlson, CTC's President and CEO added, "Connecticut is proud of its remarkable heritage of innovation and entrepreneurship. Employment growth in Connecticut will come in part from the technology sector, and these Tech Top 40 companies are a great example of the diversity of our technology sector that is growing substantially and adding jobs."

The September 22 awards program will include an exhibition featuring the Marcum Tech Top 40 companies. One company from each of the six industry verticals will be named overall winner for demonstrating the greatest percentage growth in revenue across all the technology verticals.
