Deloitte's 2009 Technology Fast 500 Ranking includes what appears to be a record number of translation and interpretation companies... three.

Welocalize also appeared on the Fast 500 in 2008, 2007, 2006, and 2001.
As shown previously, it appears that Acclaro achieved the highest ever ranking of a translation company at #43 in 2007 with 3,842% growth. VistaTec appeared on the EMEA Fast 500 in 2004 and 2001, and Moravia appeared on the regional Fast 50 for Central Europe. Also, Language Weaver was mentioned as a "rising star" when the 2005 list was published. However, I can't find any additional translation and interpretation companies that have made the Fast 500. Does anyone know if I missed a company? if so, please let me know in the comments.

Thank you for this list.
AdaQuest is a supplier of localization staff up in Seattle. I think they made the list this year too.
