Torch Technologies continues to climb in the rankings of the nation’s top government contractors.

In the annual Washington Technology “Top 100,” Torch Technologies was ranked 59^th, up two spots from 2018. The list ranks the largest government contractors by their prime contract dollars in IT, professional services, telecommunications, and other high-tech service areas.

For Huntsville-based Torch, a 100 percent employee-owned small business, this is the fifth straight year on the list, ranking 86 in 2015; 75 in 2016; 68 in 2017; and 61 in 2018.

Torch, which had more than $403 million in total revenue last year, was the highest ranked Huntsville-headquartered company named to this year’s list.

“On behalf of our employee-owners, we are honored that the confidence placed in us by our DoD customers has resulted in Torch being recognized for the fifth year as one of the largest professional services prime contractors to the federal government,” said Torch President John Watson.
