Parallel Technologies, an industry-leading reliable data center and intelligent building company, is among the companies named as finalists for the 2016 Twin Cities Business “Small Business Success Stories” program. Parallel Technologies will be honored alongside other honorees and finalists including Tech Dump, Emergent Networks, Warrior Manufacturing, Bank Cherokee and Bent Paddle Brewing Company.

The “Small Business Success Stories” program recognizes Minnesota-based businesses with less than 500 employees that have a compelling story of resilience, innovation and success. Through nominations reviewed by the publication’s editorial staff, the competition honors compelling small business stories that involve turnaround, rapid early growth, an unusual product innovation, notable longevity and overcoming of an unusual challenge or growth in a declining industry.

The achievements of both honorees and finalists will be celebrated at a banquet on January 11, 2017 at the Minneapolis Hilton.
