MANITOWOC, Wis., Oct 21, 2009 (GlobeNewswire via COMTEX) -- OESX | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- Orion Energy Systems Inc. (Nasdaq:OESX) today announced that it ranked number 241 on the Technology Fast 500(TM) -- Deloitte LLP's ranking of 500 of the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America.

Rankings are based on percentage of fiscal year revenue growth during the five-year period from 2004 to 2008. Orion's revenue grew 549 percent during this period.

Orion's Chief Executive Officer Neal Verfuerth said the company's revenue growth can be attributed to the growing demand for energy efficient technology in the commercial and industrial sector, and the company's proven sales methodologies.

"Our revenue growth and our position on the Deloitte list validates the growing demand for energy saving technology without compromise," Verfuerth said. "Our compelling value proposition of reducing cost per square foot by 25 cents and a typical payback period of less than two years is hard to ignore. As we've grown, our customers' savings have grown, now to nearly $643 million."

"Technology Fast 500(TM) recognizes innovative companies that have broken down barriers to success and defied the odds with their remarkable five-year revenue growth," said Phil Asmundson, vice chairman and U.S. technology, media and telecommunications leader, Deloitte LLP. "We congratulate Orion Energy Systems on this accomplishment."

"With its impressive five-year growth, Orion has earned its position among the fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications, life sciences and clean technology companies in North America," said Mark Jensen, managing partner, technology and Venture Capital Services, Deloitte & Touche LLP. "Deloitte is proud to honor Orion for its achievement."
