A History of Growth
Growing acceptance – and adoption – of used networking equipment as a fiscally responsible alternative to new technology installations drove Network Liquidators’ revenue to record heights during the past four years. The company’s sales soared nearly 900 percent within this period, making it the third-fastest growing private company in Florida for 2006 and placing it 95th in this year’s Inc. 500 listing of America’s fastest-growing private companies. In response to this remarkable growth and new market opportunities, the company last year added three key executive positions to its roster and broadened its geographic footprint with the opening of a sales office in southern London.
“The Network Liquidators’ leadership team is a strong, talented and experienced group with whom I am proud to work,” said Calcaterra. “Our collective contributions help to synthesize our operations and underscore the value of used networking equipment as a fiscally responsible alternative to new technology installations.”
