Five Grand Junction-based firms were among the latest award recipients in an annual program honoring fast-growing Colorado companies.

The Christi Reece Group, Iron-IQ, QuikrStuff and Timberline Trailers were among the winners in the 2022 Colorado Companies to Watch program. Timberline Bank was named a Hall of Fame winner.

Knott Laboratory, a Grand Junction-based company that analyzes accidents and assesses the condition of structures, was a finalist for the 2022 awards.

The Colorado Companies to Watch program honors companies for their products, processes and performance in the marketplace as well as their philanthropic efforts. To participate, firms must be privately held, headquartered in Colorado, employ the equivalent of six to 99 full-time employees and generate $750,000 to $50 million in annual sales or working capital.

The Christi Reece Group provides real estate services in the Grand Valley.

Iron-IQ provides supervisory control and data acquisition software to help customers connect equipment, processes and people on the cloud.

QuikrStuff manufactures modular aluminum bicycle racks.

Timberleaf Trailers builds custom teardrop trailers with sleeping quarters and rear galley kitchens. The company also was a finalist in the 2021 Colorado Companies to Watch program.

Headquartered in Grand Junction, Timberline Bank also operates locations in Montrose and Aspen. 

Timberline Bank was among the 2016 winners in the Colorado Companies to Watch program. In May, the Colorado District Office of the U.S. Small Business Administration named the bank its 2022 7(a) Lender of the Year for small operations.
