NEW YORK, NY, July 14, 2010 -- For the second consecutive year, Atrenta Inc. has been selected for the 2010 Best of San Jose Award in the Electronic Design Automation category by the U.S. Commerce Association (USCA).

The USCA "Best of Local Business" Award Program recognizes outstanding local businesses throughout the country. Each year, the USCA identifies companies that they believe have achieved exceptional marketing success in their local community and business category. These are local companies that enhance the positive image of small business through service to their customers and community.

"Atrenta is honored to receive this important recognition for the second year in a row," said Dr. Ajoy Bose, chairman, president and CEO of Atrenta. "San Jose, being the center of Silicon Valley, provides an excellent community and supportive environment for Atrenta's business growth. We have always believed in giving back to the community whenever we can."

Nationwide, only 1 in 70 (1.4%) 2010 Award recipients qualified as two-time Award Winners. Various sources of information were gathered and analyzed to choose the winners in each category. The 2010 USCA Award Program focuses on quality, not quantity. Winners are determined based on the information gathered both internally by the USCA and data provided by third parties.
