Local Business Gains National Recognition
Local Native American Business Named among Nation’s Top 100
Milford, CT, December 2006. In recognition of the economic power of multicultural businesses, DiversityBusiness.com, the nations leading multicultural internet site, recently named NIKTEK LLC as one of the “Top 100 Native American owned businesses in the United States (Div100)" one of the “Top 50 diversity-owned businesses in the state of CT (Div50)”, and one of the “Top 100 small businesses in the state of CT (Div100)”.
The Div100 is the 7th annual listing of the Nation’s top 100 Native American-owned businesses. Ranging in revenue size from $500k to over $100M, the companies listed on the Div100 represent the Nation’s top multicultural earners and challenge the long-held notion that a diversity-owned business is small or insignificant. Div100 members are sought after by major corporations wishing to increase spending with diversity owned companies.
The Impact of Diversity Business

Diversity-owned businesses contribute over $1.4 trillion in sales to the U.S. economy.
“Diversity businesses and consumers are a growing force in the U.S. economy, and a force to be reckoned with,” said Kenton Clarke, CEO of Computer Consulting Associates International, the company that built DiversityBusiness.com. This is a whole business segment that can carry its own, that provides jobs, products and services, and generates wealth for their communities. These are the new leaders in American business.”
