On Aug. 23, 2007, Torch Technologies received an award for the Technology Category at the Huntsville/Madison County Chamber Association’s annual Small Business Awards Celebration, held at the Von Braun Center.

“It means a lot for our employees and our employee-owners,” William Roark, co-founder and CEO of Torch, said at the celebration. “We’re very pleased to have their efforts reflected back and be recognized. It’s very special to be recognized in this community, in which technology is so important.”

For the past three years, Torch has been both a nominee and a finalist in the competition. The Aug. 23 award can be added to the long list of awards and nominations that the employee-owned company has received in the five years since its inception.
