QUEBEC CITY, June 3, 2013 /CNW Telbec/ - PROFIT Magazine today released its 25th annual PROFIT 500, the definitive ranking of Canada's Fastest-Growing Companies, ranking Opsens Inc. ("Opsens") (TSXV: OPS) 71st. Published in the Summer issue of PROFIT Magazine and online at PROFITguide.com, the PROFIT 500 list ranks Canadian businesses by their revenue growth over five years.
"To celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Fastest‐Growing Companies in Canada, the PROFIT 500 has expanded to recognize the entrepreneurial achievements of more than 500 Canadian companies," says Ian Portsmouth, Editor-in-Chief of PROFIT magazine.
