			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the middle of 2010, during a year when the manufacturing sector was struggling to come out of a worldwide recession, Talan Products, Inc., the Cleveland Ohio <a href="http://www.talanproducts.com/">metal stamping company</a> made the Inner City 100 list for the third year in a row. 2010 marks the 4th win for the progressive stamping company with previous awards earned in 1999, the first year,  2008 (10<sup>th</sup> anniversary of the award), and 2009.  The list is a national ranking of the fastest growing inner-city companies from the Initiative for a Competitive Inner City (ICIC) and Inc. Magazine ( <a href="http://www.icic.org/atf/cf/%7BC81898B2-76E9-4A18-B838-A3F65C9F06B9%7D/ICIC_innercity100_award.pdf">View PDF of Award here</a> ). The 2010 award represents Talan&#8217;s fourth time on the list  in the 11 years of the award.</p>
<p><span id="more-8"></span>Talan was the only Cleveland company to make the list in 2008. In 2009 Talan Products was joined by two other Cleveland based companies &#8211; Voss Industries and Tenable Protection Services. Over 5000 nominations were received nationwide. Talan&#8217;s growth rate of 177% over the past five years propelled it into the top rankings. &#8220;We were thrilled to win again,&#8221; said Steve Peplin, Talan CEO, who attended the two-day event in Boston. &#8220;We consider it a big deal. And it&#8217;s a great &#8216;Good News&#8217; story for Cleveland. For Cleveland to have two other companies is a really good showing.&#8221; Overall, five winning companies represented Ohio.</p>
