Trex Company, Inc. (NYSE: TWP) is the only building products manufacturer chosen for BusinessWeek’s “Hot Growth” List of the 100 Best Small Companies, ranking #85.
To generate the Hot Growth list, BusinessWeek sifts through a database of 2,200 publicly traded companies with revenues of $50 million to $1.5 billion a year. The companies are then ranked by sales and earnings growth, as well as return on capital over three years. Contenders must have a market cap of $25 million or more and a stock that trades for at least $5 per share.
This year, Trex expanded its product line to include Trex Brasilia(TM), a premium deck line with a rainforest-look. Conceived using a patent pending extrusion process, Trex Brasilia offers the distinctive look of tropical hardwoods without the high installation costs and ongoing maintenance requirements associated with rainforest timbers.
