Growth in Customer Base and Portfolio Contribute To Best Ranking in Company's History

SenDEC Corporation a leading provider of both contract electronics manufacturing services (EMS) and electronic monitoring and display devices, today announced they have received recognition from the Rochester Business Alliance and KPMG LLP, ranking them #2 in the Rochester Top 100.  The Top 100 program ranks the area's fastest growing privately held companies.  SenDEC will be formally recognized at the Rochester Business Alliance's Annual Meeting and Top 100 Event on November 8 at the Rochester Riverside Convention Center.

Over the last three years, SenDEC's sales have increased by over 210% and employment at its two Fairport-based business units has increased by over 80%. This represents the 7^th ranking in the Rochester Top 100 for SenDEC in the past 11 years, but the highest to date for the company.

SenDEC's Contract Electronics Manufacturing (CEM) business unit has rapidly expanded as new customers have recently been added - many of which have increased their business with the company.  SenDEC's Products business unit - which manufactures hour meters, tachometers and other monitoring devices for the industrial, home & garden and racing industries - has been able to increase its share in markets it serves as well as enter new ones through the introduction of new devices it has designed and manufactured.

SenDEC has also been recognized with numerous additional honors this year including:

• 2006 Rochester Business Ethics Award
• 2006 Vendor of Excellence Award from Hand Held Products, Inc.
• Nomination of Ken Fiske, SenDEC President and CEO, for the 2006 Business Person of the Year Award by the Small Business Council of Rochester

"This Rochester Top 100 recognition is a wonderful bookend to what has been a truly breakout year for our company," said Ken Fiske, President and CEO of SenDEC Corporation.  "We pride ourselves on providing high quality services and products, viewing Customer Service as a corporate philosophy versus a department, and keeping promises we make to our customers.  We look forward to improving our ranking next year."

The Rochester Top 100, now in its 20th year, is a program that salutes the area's high performing companies.  The program is sponsored by the Rochester Business Alliance and the local office of KPMG LLP, a worldwide accounting firm.  Eligible companies must be independent, privately held, have revenue of at least $1 million in each of the three most recent fiscal years and be headquartered in the greater Rochester area. The companies are ranked according to revenue growth both in terms of dollar and percentage increases.
