A decade later: LI companies that closed or went bankrupt

In 2004, Long Island had 100 top companies in Newsday's annual ranking of public businesses in the New York area, but in the 10 years since, the bulk have fallen off the list.

So what happened?

For our 2014 Top Companies coverage, we looked at Newsday's 2004 list to find out just what changed for the firms once named among Long Island's most powerful businesses. In some cases they just moved, in others they were sold or went private. In a few cases, they fully closed down. We used past Newsday reports, company releases or Securities and Exchange Commission filings to compile the data.

The list in the link above shows the firms that either went bankrupt or out of business since 2004.
