BINGEN — Insitu, Inc. a pioneer developer of long-range, unmanned, autonomous aircraft, has taken first place in Deloitte’s prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for the Pacific Northwest, a ranking of the 50 fastest growing technology, media, telecommunications and life sciences companies in Washington, Oregon and Idaho by Deloitte & Touche USA. Rankings are based on the percentage of revenue growth from 2001–2005.

Dr. Steven M. Sliwa, Insitu’s President and CEO, lauded his company’s 9,140.19 percent revenue growth rate from 2001-2005. He credited Insitu’s success to an ability to provide innovative design solutions to complex problems, as well as to a market gap in Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR).

Insitu’s unique teaming agreement with Boeing provided it with the scale it needed to work with the Department of Defense.

“We are humbled that by simply putting our full focus on our customers and their unique needs, we have been able to achieve this remarkable revenue growth,” Sliwa stated. “Through agility, the outstanding people who work at Insitu and our arrangement with The Boeing Company, we have had a tremendous five-year run. More importantly, our products are able to save the lives of American and Allied troops who are in harm’s way. That latter fact provides all of us at Insitu the greatest possible satisfaction.”

Deloitte’s Larry Hile said, “We applaud the successes of Insitu and acknowledge it as one of the very few to accomplish such a fast growth rate through the past five years.”
