Florida's Premier Indoor Environmental Firm Ranks High on Diversity List

Clearwater, FL (PRWeb) January 4, 2007 -- For the third year in a row, DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural business-to-business online portal that links large buyers to multicultural product and service business owners, has named Pure Air Control Services (PACS) as one the "Top Businesses in the United States" for 2006.

PACS has also been chosen as a Top Small Business by DiversityBusiness.com.

In addition to the DiversityBuisness.com award, Frost & Sullivan's recent analysis of the North American Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) Market selected Pure Air Control Services, Inc. as the proud recipient of their 2006 Product Differentiation Innovation Award.

PACS earned this recognition by distinguishing its Product Offerings and Services based on an aggressive strategy that anticipates the importance of global IAQ concerns, and the impact now felt on business and residential needs.

Pure Air Control Services is a SBA Federal 8a certified, Minority-owned Business Enterprise (MBE), that was acknowledged in 2006 with a listing in the Div100. The Div100 recognizes the pure economic power of multicultural businesses and strives to bring together major corporations, government agencies, colleges and large universities into strategic partnerships and business forums exploiting the talents of multicultural and women-owned American companies.

Pure Air Control Services has been in business for over 20 years, and is the largest indoor environmental consulting / laboratory / remediation company in the state of Florida. It is one of the largest IEQ specialty firms in the U.S.

Pure Air Control Services was also recently awarded a GSA contract to provide comprehensive IEQ services directly to federal government agencies. "We are proud of our firm's achievements as a minority-owned, multicultural business, and that we are among this elite group of companies and notable individuals," stated Mr. Alan Wozniak, President and CEO of Pure Air Control Services.

The Div500
This year, DiversityBusiness.com announced the Div500 7th annual listing that enumerates the nation's top 500 diversity-owned businesses. Businesses represented include technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services, and range in revenue from $20 million to over $2 billion. These businesses are owned and operated by women, Blacks, Hispanics, Asians, Native Americans and other minority groups. They represent the nation's top multicultural entrepreneurs and earners and they contest the false notion that diversity-owned businesses are small or insignificant.

"The Div500 companies are the heroes of diversity-owned business in America," said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company which built DiversityBusiness.com. "While Fortune Magazine lists the best companies for minorities to work for, the Div500 lists the top businesses owned by minorities.

"These are the people that have conquered the hurdles and made the sacrifices, those that helped build and strengthen their communities while providing jobs and helping to keep the fabric of the U.S. economy together."

The top companies from this year's Div500 listing will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com's 6th Annual Multicultural Business Conference being held April 11 - 13, 2007, at the MGM Mirage in Las Vegas, Nevada.

"Diversity owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy each year," said Clarke. "It is no longer just 'the right thing' to do business with diversity suppliers. Because of recent economic and demographic trends, major corporations are realizing that having a diverse supplier base positively impacts their business revenue from this sector of buyers."
