CapRock Named One of Houston’s Top Private Companies

HOUSTON — May 31, 2005 —The Houston Chronicle has ranked CapRock Communications, a global provider of satellite communications services, as one of the top private companies headquartered in Houston. The list is based on company revenue, growth and employee base.

“This is a tremendous honor and a validation of the quality and dedication of our people,” said CapRock CEO Peter Shaper. “Our success in driving global and vertical market expansion over the past few years has enabled CapRock to become a true world-class organization. We have our sights set even higher as we look forward.”

CapRock’s unparalleled ability to provide highly reliable “mission critical” communications even in the most remote and harsh of locations has fostered its dramatic expansion.


Founded in Houston in 1981, CapRock has grown into a global company with nearly 400 employees worldwide and teleports and international offices located in Aberdeen, Scotland, Macae, Brazil and Jakarta, Indonesia, as well as regional support offices in New Orleans and Lafayette.
