Two "Companies to Watch" in Allen Co.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (WANE) - Two businesses from Allen County have earned a spot among 43 outstanding companies in Indiana's fourth annual field of "Companies to Watch."

The state is honoring Ciocca's, Inc. and Tippmann Engineering, Inc.,

"These 'Companies to Watch' are among the firms fostering Indiana's economic growth," said Mitch Roob, Secretary of Commerce and chief executive officer of the Indiana Economic Development Corporation . "This group deserves our congratulations and our thanks for helping to make Indiana a great state for business."

Ciocca's, Inc. is a cleaning service that provides commercial, vinyl tile, ceramic, marble, window and carpet cleaning services. After purchasing GMP Cleaning and Restoration, the company expanded services to provide fire and water damage restoration services.

Tippmann Engineering, Inc. builds cold storage facilities for firms around the country. Its Quickfreeze program markets a patent-pending system for cooling and freezing pallets of food.

The accolade, presented by the Indiana Economic Development Corporation, its Small Business Development Center network, Purdue University and the Edward Lowe Foundation , recognizes the state's privately held businesses that employ six to 150 full-time employees and have between $750,000 to $100 million in annual revenue or capital.

The 43 "Companies to Watch" from 18 Indiana counties were named after evaluating more than 300 nominations for the awards and represent industries ranging from custom sign design to medication consulting services and snorkeling equipment manufacturing to fire and storm restoration services.

The chosen companies project to have combined revenues in excess of $600 million and create more than 550 new jobs this year. The revenue projections represent an increase of more than $100 million or 33 percent from 2010.

The 43 "Companies to Watch" will be honored at an Aug. 25 ceremony in Indianapolis.
