"We're pleased to be recognized as one of the top 100 fastest-growing companies in Pittsburgh", said Judy Tapolci, who founded the company with her husband Jerry in 1986. "We've been able to achieve rapid growth in spite of weak economic conditions. We think that is a reflection of providing a superior customer experience for every customer."
