 Somerville,
MA, August 25, 2009 — For the third consecutive year, Second
Wind has made the Inc.
5000 list of fastest-growing private companies
in the United States.
"Second Wind is dedicated to making wind energy profitable through the use of innovative technology," Second Wind COO Larry Letteney said. "Our third year on this prestigious list speaks to the hard work of our dedicated employees and the continued growth of the renewable energy sector."
Letteney credited the growing acceptance of Second Wind's newest product, the Triton
sonic wind profiler, as adding significantly to the company's overall growth. The Triton is designed to give wind farm developers more accurate information about siting wind farms and turbines, thus streamlining wind farm development and increasing financial certainty. The Triton assesses wind speed and direction by sending sound pulses into the sky and measuring the returning echoes. Triton sales are increasing each quarter, with over 80 units currently operating in the field - including sites in the United States, Canada, Europe, and Australia.
Headquartered in Somerville, Massachusetts, where it employs 50 people, Second Wind has a sales force in North America and the United Kingdom along with dealers in Europe and Asia. Products are placed in more than 40 countries and on all seven continents, including Antarctica. The company prides itself on technology innovation with its in-house hardware development and software engineering talent. "With this accomplishment, Second Wind Inc. joins the rarified company of enterprises that have appeared on the list multiple times," said Inc. 5000 Editor Jane Berentson. "Since debuting in 1991, the list has served as evidence of the significant accomplishments of entrepreneurial companies."
