To be included in the list, companies had to be engaged in
technology design, development, manufacture or marketing, have
revenues of more than $1 million in 2005 and have facilities in
the San Fernando, Conejo, Simi or Santa Clarita valleys. The San
Fernando Valley Business Journal publishes a separate list of
telecommunication companies (Jan. 2, 2006) and medical device
companies (Jan. 16, 2006). Neither Vitesse Semiconductor Inc. nor
Interlink Electronics could be included in the list because the
companies were in the process of restating 2005 revenues as of
presstime.
Tekelec, which ranked No. 4 in the Business Journal's technology
list for 2005, was not included due to relocation of its facilities
to North Carolina. Advanced Photonix has announced plans to
relocate to Ann Arbor, Mich., and 3D Systems has announced plans
to relocate to Rock Hill, S.C., but the companies resided in the
Valley area in 2005.
