Dimensions International Inc. Named Company of the Year by Black Enterprise Magazine

Dimensions International Inc., a 20-year-old technology and airspace company in Alexandria, VA, was named by Black Enterprise magazine as the 2005 Company of the Year. The company made $100 million in sales last year.

Alexandria, VA (PRWEB) June 1, 2005 -- Dimensions International, Inc. (DI), an Alexandria, VA-based technical services company was named the 2005 Company of the Year by Black Enterprise magazine at its 10th Annual Entrepreneurs Awards Gala Dinner on May 21, the culmination of a five-day entrepreneurs conference in Dallas, Texas.

We are pleased that Black Enterprise has recognized DIs services and our pursuit of excellence at various levels, which have allowed us to grow in the past 20 years, and especially now, as we are celebrating our 20th anniversary," said Russell T. Wright, DI chairman and CEO. The company and its employees have done a tremendous job in the areas of IT, logistics, airspace management, and technology integration. This award is not just for the Wright family but for the entire DI family."

Ranked number 35 on Black Enterprises BE 100s companies, DI bested the competition and cinched the prestigious honor after spearheading the largest deal in the history of its firm, when it acquired SENTEL Corp., under Wrights leadership. By acquiring SENTEL, a former BE 100s company that provides engineering and software services, DI put itself in the enviable position of having greater ability to pursue multimillion-dollar government contracts. BE 100s companies are judged on how fit, fast and inventive they are to not only survive but to thrive. Wright, who assumed the reins of the company from his father Dr. Robert L. Wright, two years ago, managed the company in grossing nearly $100 million in sales last year. Besides SENTEL, DI is also known for the wholly owned subsidiary, Flight Explorer, an Internet-based global tracking system used by the government to track commercial aircraft.

With this award, Russell T. Wright has raised his profile even further, after having been named Entrepreneur of the Year by Black Engineer magazine in February, and Entrepreneur of the Year by the Virginia Minority Supplier Development Council in December 2004.

Wright added that he is humbled by the award from Black Enterprise. However, I am not one to rest on my laurels," Wright explained. I see this honor as encouragement for us to continue in excellence with the work we have been doing, and that we will continue to do for the next 20-30 years and for generations to come."
