SALT LAKE CITY, Jul 10, 2009 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- ZAGG Inc. (OTCBB: ZAGG), a leader in mobile electronics and accessories including the award-winning invisibleSHIELD(TM) and ZAGGaudio(TM) brands, announces their recognition from the Utah Valley Entrepreneurial Forum (UVEF) as the 2009 top performing Utah-based company under five years old.
The UVEF Top 25 Under Five is a prestigious award that spotlights Utah entrepreneurs and start-up companies. Now in its 10th year, the UVEF Top 25 Under Five has recognized significant Utah success stories during its history, such as Agel Enterprises, Omniture, and Xango, among others. ZAGG was recognized as number one among the 25 finalists for 2009 at ceremonies held at the Novell Provo Campus. Other companies in the top five were Imagine Learning, OrangeSoda, Allegiance, and Aribex.
"ZAGG's success is founded on three points: amazing products, great people, and a sound business plan. It sounds very elementary, but by focusing on these three things we have experienced early, sustained growth," said Robert Pedersen II, President and CEO of ZAGG Inc. "We are honored that UVEF would consider us for this important award, and we are very excited that they have named us the top company for 2009."
ZAGG recently announced the opening of a satellite office in Orem, Utah, in order to focus their creative efforts in the mobile app market, as well as take advantage of opportunities in the local workforce. ZAGG's primary initial development from the new office will be AppSpace.com, an online destination for mobile app users. Other projects will include industry partnerships for apps, as well as those developed and published directly by ZAGG for mobile platforms.
