Turning Technologies History

Turning Technologies was founded by former CEO Mike Broderick in 2002 as a member of the Youngstown Business Incubator.[3][4] Starting with just three employees, the company soon expanded and, in 2007, was ranked among the seven fastest-growing small businesses in the nation by Entrepreneur magazine, and was named the fastest growing privately held software company in the U.S. by Inc. Magazine.[5] In 2008, the company moved from the business incubator to the Taft Technology Center in order to accommodate an increase in employees.[6]

In 2013, Turning Technologies acquired eInstruction, one of its biggest competitors in the education technology market.[7] As part of the eInstruction purchase, Turning Technologies also acquired GTCO CalComp.
