TriQuint one of 100 fastest-growing companies
The firm’s growth partly to large design wins across markets including smartphones, tablets, 3G/4G base stations, optical networks and cable systems.
TriQuint Semiconductor, an RF solutions supplier and technology innovator, was named as one of Fortune Magazine’s annual 100 fastest-growing companies.
The list features innovators in all aspects of the global economy.
TriQuint ranked 49th in profit growth based on several financial performance metrics over a three year period. TriQuint’s growth was due in part to significant design wins across several high-growth markets including smartphones, tablets, 3G/4G base stations, optical networks and cable systems.
"This recognition is confirmation that the passionate, devoted efforts of our employees and the products and solutions that we create have become a foundation for many of our customers," said Ralph Quinsey, TriQuint President and CEO. "We will continue our focus on RF innovation and manufacturing technology to simplify our customers’ designs, and help them meet the demand for more connectivity now and in the future. This is an incredibly exciting time for TriQuint and our industry."

The companies that meet these criteria are ranked by revenue growth rate, EPS growth rate and three-year annualised total return for the period ended June 30, 2011.
