For more than 30 years, the Inc. 500|5000 list has represented the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy, America’s independent entrepreneurs. Each year, Inc. magazine and Inc.com celebrate the remarkable achievements of entrepreneurial superstars — privately held small businesses that drive America’s economy.

“Now, more than ever, our nation depends on Inc. 500|5000 companies to spur innovation, provide jobs and drive our economy forward," Inc. magazine Editor in Chief Jane Berentson commented. "Growth companies such as these, not large corporations, are where the action is today. This year’s list is a testament to the creativity, resilience and tenacity of America’s top entrepreneurs.”

Inc. recognizes the creativity, dedication and hard work that have gone into building the notable success of Southridge Technology Grp LLC,” Berentson continued.

With corporate offices based in Ridgefield (Connecticut’s Ridgefield Executive Park) and a new storefront office on Route 7 in the Brookfield Commons, Southridge Technology Grp LLC has expanded notably since early 2006. 

“Three years ago, we expanded into a second location to serve our growing number of Northern Fairfield County and Litchfield County clients while we continue to serve our southern Fairfield County, Westchester and New York City clients," Garzi said. "We also needed a location to host ongoing seminars and workshops on various technology subjects.”
