PTS Diagnostics Named to Inc. Magazine’s 5000 Fastest Growing Private Companies List for the Fourth Time

Indianapolis, IN – September 15, 2014 — PTS Diagnostics, the U.S.-based manufacturer of both the CardioChek® brand and the A1CNow® family of point-of-care diagnostic products, has again been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The Inc.5000 ranking is based on revenue growth over a three-year period. PTS Diagnostics earned its place on the list by growing its revenue by 80 percent from 2010 to 2013.

For PTS Diagnostics, who appears on the list as Polymer Technology Systems, this is the second consecutive year on the list and the fourth time in its history. PTS Diagnostics is the only Indiana medical device manufacturer that made the list in 2014 and has made the list four or more times.

“We are especially pleased with this distinction this year,” said Robert Huffstodt, President and CEO of PTS Diagnostics. “Our continued growth is a result of our commitment to manufacture and distribute a broad portfolio of diagnostic solutions for point-of-care healthcare providers. It’s gratifying for all of us to see our growth strategies validated in the marketplace and recognized by the media.”

PTS Diagnostics is experiencing rapid growth with its solutions that aid healthcare professionals in measuring HbA1c and glucose, and generating lipid (cholesterol) profiles, all at the point of care. “The essence of our mission is to improve health,” continued Huffstodt. “We can now provide fast, easy-to-use, accurate, point-of-care diagnostics for multiple key disease states, including high cholesterol and diabetes. Furthermore, we focus on the relationship with our distributors and customers encompassing our proven technology and point-of-care solutions.”

“We continue to build on this momentum,” concluded Huffstodt. “We have recently added new distribution partners to further expand our market reach; made key hires for our research, technology, sales, and marketing teams; and we have invested significantly in our manufacturing and quality control areas. We are excited to continue our ongoing commitment to providing a full suite of world-class point-of-care diagnostic solutions to healthcare professionals of all kinds, all around the world.”

  • The A1CNow+ system provides healthcare professionals with a fast, easy, and accurate method of obtaining HbA1c results while the patient is in the exam room.
