Commenting on the recognition, CFO Takeshima said,

“Fast 50 is the significance to be a prize because it evaluated the growth potential of PRODRONE, based on a simple “number” that is “growth rate based on revenue (sales) in the past three years.

We are the first award this time, but there are many companies that have been ranked in many times among 50 companies. Fast 50 which is evaluated based on “rate” instead of “amount”, it will be difficult to be award as the company grows. Hope we could be a prize again in near future.”
