#CEPYME500
CEPYME500 has selected a set of companies that are
leaders in business growth. Their output is a proof of
that. The established methodological approach has
not only considered the average weighted growth in
the 2013 – 2015 period but also companies' financial
stability, their capacity to create jobs, their international
activity and their level of innovation.
The average turnover for CEPYME500 companies
equals about 29 million euros. As a whole, their sales
total represents almost 1.5% of the GDP. Most of
these companies (87%) are placed between the 10
and 50 million euros range in terms of turnover.
The staff's average size of these companies equals 100
employees, which represents over 50,000 employed
workers in the total labour market's figure.
Additionally, the high ratios of economic profitability that
these companies show must indeed be emphasized
because of their being above 10%. Specifically, almost
60% of the CEPYME500 companies present a ROA of
between 10 and 40%.
Highlighting and making the success stories of these
medium-sized companies known is of a paramount importance,
as they are an inspiring element for the entire
pool of small-sized companies as well as for the projection
before governments, the different institutions and
the whole of the society. They have indeed a main role
in the economy and employment development.
