RxAmerica on of Utah’s fastest growing companies

SALT LAKE CITY–RxAmerica, a pharmacy benefit manager, was recently selected as a winner in MountainWest Capital Network’s Utah 100 Program, placing 18 on the list of 100 of Utah’s fastest growing companies. The company also ranked ninth on a list of 15 of the state’s top revenue growth companies.

“Our loyal customers have made our tremendous growth possible, which speaks to our strong ability to help our clients control costs and provide quality benefits to their members,” said RxAmerica President John Gardynik. “We have increased our revenue, the number of programs we offer, our team of talented employees, and we’ve expanded our corporate offices. Our outlook is continued growth.”

The MountainWest Capital Network created the Utah 100 Program 13 years ago to recognize Utah companies that are contributing to the state’s economic growth and vitality. The 2007 winners were presented with an award of recognition by Governor Jon Huntsman, Jr. during a luncheon at the Grand America Hotel.

The Utah 100 companies represent a broad cross-section from almost all industries in Utah, including healthcare, information technology, biomedical and bio-technical, retail, construction, and financial services. The rankings are based on the pace of revenue growth over the previous five years. To be eligible for consideration in the Utah 100, a company must be Utah-based and have at least five years of operating history.
