2011年16家增长最快的明星公司

绿山咖啡烘焙公司

排名：第2位

连续在榜年数：3年

    这家主营咖啡的公司连续三年登上榜单接近榜首的位置靠的并不仅仅是咖啡烘焙，它的包装也功不可没。绿山咖啡公司（Green Mountain）的“K-杯”（K-Cups）已成为工作场所的标志性产品，并且其他咖啡公司巨头也已与之签约订购。它干净整洁的单杯咖啡烹煮机（single-serving brewing systems）甚至吸引了星巴克公司（Starbucks）和唐恩都乐公司（Dunkin Donuts）这样的用户。

    2010财年是该公司有史以来销售收入增长幅度最大的一年，比2009年增长了73%。这也帮助绿山咖啡保住了去年开始的榜眼位置。

Green Mountain Coffee Roasters

100 Fastest-Growing Rank: 2

Consecutive years on the list: 3

    It's not just its roasts that have put this coffee company near the top of this list for three years running. It's the packages they come in. Green Mountain's "K-Cups" have become a workplace staple, and other big coffee players have signed on. Keurig single-serving brewing systems can now count Starbucks and Dunkin Donuts as users.

    Fiscal year 2010 was the company's biggest year ever for revenue growth, with an increase of 73% over 2009. That increase helped Green Mountain keep its second-place spot from last year's list.
