PASADENA, TEXAS-- August 27, 2008-- LHR Technologies, manufacturer of the CarveWright Woodworking System, was introduced to the Annual Inc. 500 List by Inc. Magazine as its 36th Fastest Growing Private Company in the United States. The company also ranked No. 2 in the Top 100 Consumer Product Companies in the US, as well as No. 2 in the Top 50 Businesses in Houston-Sugar Land- Baytown, TX Area.
These tremendous honors reflect the hard work and dedication of the staff at LHR Technologies and their CEO, Chris Lovchik. Of their success, Mr. Lovchik reflects, “Starting out, I had no choice but to risk everything.” That risk has resulted in a growth of nearly 4,000% in revenue over the last four years. “With the growth, I have the resources to better evaluate my options.”
Lovchik, along with co-founder David Jochim, both ex-NASA Robotics engineers, have put those resources to work for them. In early 2007, the company employed 6 people. Today, the company is bursting at the seams with over 60 employees. A new high-tech facility and training center is currently under construction to accommodate their growth.
They continue a dedication to the future with an emphasis on research and development for their CarveWright Woodworking System. LHR has created a brand that is very quickly being recognized by craftsman, hobbyists, technology educators, tool dealers and many other surprising markets. Its low price tag has put high-tech CNC woodcarving into the hands of everyone.
Now available through most major home improvement stores, various specialty craft stores & technology educational dealers, LHR has sold over 15,000 systems. Once offered only in the Continental United States, LHR Technologies now crosses geographical boundaries with their CarveWright Woodworking System by announcing its availability through Canadian distributor Triton Canada.
The CarveWright Woodworking System and Craftsman CompuCarve are revolutionary and compact CNC machines with simple to use software allowing anyone to create complex carvings. Additional accessories, such as a Scanning Probe, which allows for duplication of original works or virtually any other 3-D elements, add to the fun and unlimited possibilities.
