  Profits also will grow, said Tom Slechta, Videk's president.
  
  "We know we have an opportunity, that never existed before, for Videk to be a leader in this field," Slechta said.
  
  Videk emerged as a Kodak subsidiary in 1985.The first visual inspection systems were produced a year later.In 1991, Performance Technologies bought the company.Danfoss, a large company based in Denmark, bought Videk in 1995 but gave way to a management buyout in 1999.
  
  Videk never made a profit under Kodak or any other owners, Slechta said.But the company did produce profits in its first two years under the new owners.
  
  "The company was engineer-driven.It wasn't really learning the problems of its customers and solving them," Slechta said.
  
  At one time, Videk specialized in systems that inspected manufactured products or goods, checking the quality of grapefruits or the color of potato chips, for example.
  
  "After the buyout, we refocused the company, concentrating on one industry and in developing brand recognition," Slechta said.
  
  That industry is commercial printing, mailing and print finishing.Videk has formed partnerships with about 20 companies around the world, including Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Pitney Bowes, Fujitsu and a Netherlands-based document company called Océ.
  
  "Our strategy was to position the company so our systems were integral to their products," Slechta said.
  ...
  Invisible code systems will attract private companies as well as governments, Slechta said.
  ...
  We've had a lot of interest," Slechta said."But it's a new product.There will be a big education process for our customers."
  
  Videk is raising funds for its expansion, offering some shares of the company, Slechta said.In 2004, the company expects revenue to increase by as much as 200 percent.
  
  "These are the best times for Videk," Slechta said.

  Videk's president & CEO, Tom Slechta, credits the company's success to many factors, but mainly the support and dedication of Videk's employees, "Everyone at Videk has a great passion for what they do.What a team!We were delighted when the news came in that Videk was selected for the Rochester Top 100, but to be named number ten was an even greater milestone."
  
  For an organization of 25 employees, Videk's vision is certainly a large one.The company has been awarded contracts with such industry leaders as The Federal Treasury (FMS), Northrop Grumman, MBNA, Wells Fargo, and most recently KUBRA.This year, Videk also introduced its latest industry innovation, the PostnetVerifierTM, a Postnet barcode quality-monitoring device for thermal ink jet printers, a product that is enhancing Videk's vision for a bright future."We're at a great place right now, but I believe that it will only get better," Tom Slechta added.
