ATLANTA, Oct. 7, 2005- MFG.com, the world's largest marketplace for sourcing and selling custom-manufactured goods and services, has been named to Deloitte's prestigious Technology Fast 50 Program for Georgia, a ranking of the 50-fastest growing technology companies in the area by Deloitte & Touche LLP, one of the nation's leading professional services organizations. Rankings are based on the percentage revenue growth over five years from 2000-2004.
