Miner Holding Company Sees Three – three of its businesses on Aggie 100 List
Texas A&M has announced its 2009 Aggie 100 list and three Miner Holding Company businesses are on it. This is the fifth year in a row that businesses affiliated with Miner Holding Company have made the prestigious list of 100 fastest growing companies owned or led by former Texas A&M University students and the first time that Miner has seen three businesses recognized on the prestigious list.
Miner Fleet Management Group, based in San Antonio; Miner El Paso, Ltd.; and Miner Houston, Ltd. have been selected as members of the 2009 Aggie 100.
The Aggie 100 was created by the Mays Business School�s Center for New Ventures and Entrepreneurship at Texas A&M University. The Center created the Aggie 100 to honor former students, while giving current students a forum in which the next generation of Aggie entrepreneurs can learn from their predecessors.
Competing against hundreds of nominations for businesses from across the country as well as locations outside the United States, Miner Holding company businesses have been recognized by Texas A&M since the contest�s inception in 2005.
This is the third year Miner Houston, Ltd. has been recognized and the first year Miner El Paso, Ltd. has made the Aggie 100 list. Miner Houston and Miner El Paso are regional service companies under their parent The Miner Corporation (a division of Miner Holding Company), a network of regional service companies handling the service needs of Fortune 500 facilities maintenance professionals who operate complex equipment.
Miner Fleet Management Group, also a division of Miner Holding Company, is the international services arm of Miner Holding Company and is on the Aggie 100 list for the fourth year in a row.
The Aggie 100 recognizes the 100 fastest growing Aggie-owned or Aggie-led businesses in the world. These former students hold degrees from nearly every college within the University. Miner Holding Company�s founder and chairman, Philip T. Miner, class of 1980, is a graduate of the Dwight Look College of Engineering at Texas A&M University; he has a Bachelor of Science in Ocean Engineering.
To be considered for the Aggie 100 program, companies must have been in business at least five years and must meet one of the following criterion: be owned (50 percent or more) by a former student for at least two years; the CEO, President or Managing Partner (for the past two years) must be a former Texas A&M University student; or a former A&M student must have founded the business and been an active member of its most senior management team over the past two years. The final requirement is a reflection of the character of the business. The company must operate in a manner consistent with the Aggie Code of Honor and reflect well on the values and images of Texas A&M University.
The three Miner Holding Company businesses were recognized at the fifth annual Aggie 100 award ceremony Nov. 6 on the Texas A&M campus. Special mention was made during the ceremony of Philip T. Miner being the only alumnus with multiple companies making the list five years in a row.
