Swat Fame, Inc. Named to United State’s Top Business List for 2009

City of Industry, Calif. (January 23, 2009) - In recognition of the economic power of privately held businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading business-to-business internet site, recently named Swat Fame, Inc. as one of the top businesses in the United States.

This is the 9th annual listing of the United State’s top businesses by DiversityBusiness.com. Ranging in revenue size from $113,900,000 to over $150,000,000, the companies listed on the Top Business Lists represent the Nation’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a privately held business is small or insignificant. Winners are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with small businesses.

“Entrepreneurs are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with,” said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities.  These are the new leaders in American business.”

“Knowing your customer and what she wants to wear is the first step in developing the right product.  Each of our divisions focuses on a different denim consumer; and there are all levels of fashion, fits, trims and the kind of denim that the consumer wants.  Swat Fame understands that echelon of business.  That’s why we are so driven to key-in, focus and deliver such great denim at every price point,” says Mr. Quaranta.

The List
This List is a classification that represents the top small businesses in the U.S., in sectors such as technology, manufacturing, food service and professional services. Large organizational buyers throughout the country that do business with multicultural, small and women-owned businesses use the list. The List is produced annually by DiversityBusiness.com, the nation's leading multicultural B2B Internet portal that links large organizational buyers to multicultural product and service suppliers.
The winning companies will be honored at a special awards ceremony at DiversityBusiness.com’s “9th Annual Multicultural Business Conference”, taking place April 29 – May 1, 2009 at the Disney’s Contemporary Resort in Orlando, Florida.
