MANITOWOC — Orion Energy Systems Inc. has been named to the Investors' Circle 20, a list recognizing companies that achieve environmental, social and financial success.
Orion ranked No. 3 on the list, compiled by Investors' Circle, the United States' oldest and largest national angel investing group.
Orion Energy Systems is a power technology enterprise that designs, manufactures and deploys energy management systems that reduce energy costs for commercial and industrial companies.
Orion was chosen among 197 companies nationwide. Ninety-five percent of the companies interviewed attributed their entire revenue to socially or environmentally beneficial products and services.
"We're excited to be included in the IC20 list and proud of the progress we've made since the early days when much of our financial backing came from angel investors," said Orion CEO Neal Verfuerth.
"Energy-efficiency will play a major role in improving the environment for our children and grandchildren, while, at the same time, creating the cost savings and green jobs that many believe are important to our economic recovery," Verfuerth said.
