TUSTIN, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Association
for Corporate Growth (ACG), Orange County Chapter
will honor three local companies, CR&R, Oakley,
Inc. and AMO/IntraLase at its annual awards banquet
at the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel in Costa Mesa
on May 10th at 5:00 PM.
After evaluating dozens of nominations from across
the county, ACG Orange County will present its 2007
Founder’s Award to CR&R, the Outstanding
Growth Award to Oakley, and its Spotlight Deal Award
to AMO/IntraLase.
CR&R was founded in 1963 as a small residential
and commercial refuse collection company and has
grown steadily over the years. It now owns and services
25 exclusive solid waste collection franchises and
operates two state-of-the-art solid waste transfer
and material recovery facilities and three transfer
stations. In addition to consistent revenue and
earnings growth, CR&R experienced considerable
growth by expanding its container fleet, making
them one of the largest providers of portable steel
storage containers in the Western United States.
Oakley is a worldwide leader in performance optics
including premium sunglasses, goggles, and prescription
eyewear. The company’s noteworthy accomplishments
include increased global market penetration and
75% growth in revenues from 2001-2006 as well as
an acquisitions campaign which included Oliver Peoples;
Optical Shop of Aspen; and ESS, a military eyewear
manufacturer.
The Spotlight Deal award evolved from the purchase
of a great growth company in Orange County (IntraLase)
by another great growth company in Orange County,
Advanced Medical Optics. The $800 million acquisition
and addition of IntraLase's state-of-the-art femtosecond
laser technology to AMO's portfolio of corneal and
cataract products, allows AMO to forge a new path
for vision care with a full suite of technologies
to address a lifetime of refractive needs.
