Briefly in Business

Costa Mesa-based NexGen Digital Inc., which grew more than 600% last

year, was ranked No. 26 Monday on Entrepreneur and Dun & Bradstreet’s

seventh annual Hot 100 list of America’s fastest growing companies.

Founded in 1998 by entrepreneur Lawrence Reusing and by industry sales

veterans Tim Pinkert and Lisa Taylor, the company specializes in

procuring electronic components for Fortune 500 manufacturers and

subcontractors.

Privately held, the company has 30 employees and annual sales of

nearly $17 million.

“Our success is a classic story of three entrepreneurs that took a

chance, put everything on the line, and then worked like hell to build a

really great company,” said Reusing, the company’s chief executive and

owner.
