Handheld Group received Red Herring Global 100 Award

The Handheld Group, a fast growing manufacturer of smartly designed and cutting edge rugged notebooks, tablets and PDAs, has received the Red Herring Global 100 award. The honor recognizes the leading private companies from North America, Europe, and Asia, celebrating their innovations, technologies and business models across their respective industries. Handheld was the sole Swedish company among the hundred winners.

Red Herring's 2011 Top 100 Global award is a prestigious recognition honoring the year’s most audacious and far reaching private technology companies and entrepreneurs from across the globe. The selected companies are judged to have the most innovative technologies and business models originating from 1,100 companies from over 40 nations. Criteria included technology innovation, financial performance, growth, management's execution standards, and potential globalization of the strategy and market share improvement.

Handheld’s line-up of smartly designed and cutting edge rugged PDAs and mobile computers are specifically developed for use in tough environments in industries such as mining, geomatics, logistics, forestry, public transportation, construction, utilities, maintenance, military and security. Professional reviewers and customers alike praise Handheld’s attractive design and state of the art functionality, e.g. the MaxView screen technology that provides spectacular visibility even in direct-sunlight.

Handheld was recently awarded a similar Scandinavian honor by Dagens Industri, Sweden’s leading business daily. Handheld was named a ‘Gazelle’ company for being one of Sweden’s fastest growing, profitable and financially sound companies. Handheld has been named a “Gazelle” for four years in a row.
