The borderland is represented nationally as eight local businesses are included among the fastest growing Hispanic businesses in the nation.  The nationally recognized companies will be celebrated at the Annual Sol de Oro Celebration on July 21, 2011 beginning at 5:30 p.m. 

On June 1, 2011, nationally acknowledged publication, Hispanic Business Magazine, featured the fastest growing Hispanic businesses in the nation.  Among the 500 companies, the borderland was well represented with the inclusion of eight Hispanic businesses.  Local companies include in the prestigious list are Fred Loya Insurance (#13), Bravo South West LLC (#131), RM Personnel (#170), Pro Auto Dealers (#185), Human Capital International dba Integrated Human Capital (#189), dmDickason Personnel (#240) and Miratek (253).   Among our regional winners, Las Cruces is represented with the presence of Zia Engineering (#375).

“Our local Hispanic businesses triumphed during a time of large economic challenges,” said Cindy Ramos-Davidson, CEO of your El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce.  “At the time when our nation was shaken by global adversity, these businesses rode the tides of change and diversified in order to turn a challenging time into an opportunity.”

According to Hispanic Business Magazine, the borderland businesses in the list together make valuable contributions to our community.  Collectively, the nine companies provide employment to 2,836 people with an estimated economic impact of $580.81 million.

The El Paso Hispanic Chamber of Commerce will recognize the outstanding labor of the regional businesses that with the vision and perseverance are highlighting the borderland community.
