Progressive Die Stamper Talan Products Listed on the Inner City 100 List for Fourth Time

In the middle of 2010, during a year when the manufacturing sector was struggling to come out of a worldwide recession, Talan Products, Inc., the Cleveland Ohio metal stamping company made the Inner City 100 list for the third year in a row. 2010 marks the 4th win for the progressive stamping company with previous awards earned in 1999, the first year,  2008 (10^th anniversary of the award), and 2009.  The list is a national ranking of the fastest growing inner-city companies from the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) and Inc. Magazine ( View PDF of Award here ). The 2010 award represents Talan’s fourth time on the list  in the 11 years of the award.

Talan was the only Cleveland company to make the list in 2008. In 2009 Talan Products was joined by two other Cleveland based companies – Voss Industries and Tenable Protection Services. Over 5000 nominations were received nationwide. Talan’s growth rate of 177% over the past five years propelled it into the top rankings. “We were thrilled to win again,” said Steve Peplin, Talan CEO, who attended the two-day event in Boston. “We consider it a big deal. And it’s a great ‘Good News’ story for Cleveland. For Cleveland to have two other companies is a really good showing.” Overall, five winning companies represented Ohio.
