Nine Companies Make Black Enterprise 100
Black Enterprise magazine selected nine Maryland companies for its 2011 list of the largest African-American-owned corporations in the United States. The nine Maryland companies generated $1.5 billion in revenues and employed more than 2,000 people in 2010. RLJ Development, a hotel development and investment firm in Bethesda, topped the list of Maryland companies at #6. Radio One in Lanham is #13 on the list and 1 Source Consulting in Germantown is #17 this year. Only two states have more companies on the list than Maryland.

New to the list this year are K. Neal International Trucks, a full-service commercial truck and bus dealership in Hyattsville, and Maricom Systems Inc., an IT solutions firm in Baltimore. The BE 100s list is recognized as the most respected measure of black-owned business performance in the United States. The list is selected based on company’s gross revenues, billings or assets acquired over the course of the preceding year, business acumen and potential for long-term growth.
