| "This year's MTR100 listing embodies what I believe to be a comprehensive and diverse slice of the subsea technology pie, with profiles of 100 of the leading organizations driving the subsea technology market today," claims Gregory R. Trauthwein, Editor and Associate Publisher of Marine Technology Reporter in his MTR100 issue editorial intro. MTR's editor also points out in the editorial that the subsea technology industry is made up of a dynamic international market that has firmly rooted local and regional alliances, equally populated with corporate behemoths as well as small, privately held companies built to serve the subsea needs of the defense, commercial, and scientific markets.
Evaluating and ranking the top 100 companies in any industry is no small task, particularly in one such as the subsea technology market, which is vast and international in scope, with companies serving the scientific, defense, and commercial ends of the market to varying degrees. The companies serving this market are significantly diverse in shape and size, with corporate titans rubbing elbows with a field of smaller, privately held firms. Last, but certainly not least, is the fact that in many cases technology and financial data is held very close to the vest for competitive reasons. Regardless, the editorial staff of MTR entered the hunt for the Second Annual MTR100 with abandon, and presented on tech ensuing 43 pages are profiles of 100 leading companies--including a number of significant business and technological insights recorded over the past 12 months. |
