"Being named to the 2008 Inc. 5,000 is an incredible honor," stated Brian Amthor, VP Marketing.  "This has been made possible by the hard work of everyone at Amthor, all our employees, our management team and the Amthor family.  We thank everyone at Amthor for his or her dedication and effort as we continue to grow and succeed. 

Inc. Magazine reports that the Inc. 5000 is a comprehensive portrait of fast-growing companies.  Each profile is researched and reported by one of the dozens of writers assigned to the project and includes interviews with the CEOs of almost all the companies on the list.  Many firms are innovators with little coverage elsewhere; many others are using their cutting-edge savvy to grow their market share in traditional products and services and are similarly underreported by the rest of the business media.  The Inc. 5000 profiles are available on Inc.com.

Amthor International will be recognized, along with other winners, at the 27th Annual Inc. 500/Inc. 5000 Conference and Awards Ceremony to be held on September 18-20, 2008, at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in Washington, D.C.
