Inc. Magazine Unveils Its Annual List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies—the Inc. 5000
Jay Group Ranks No. 4431 on the 2021 Inc. 5000 With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 61 Percent
Inc. magazine today revealed that Jay Group has qualified for the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“We’re so honored to be included in the Inc 5000 list this year. We wouldn’t be here without the dedicated employees that make up the Jay Group team and the incredible clients who put their faith and trust in our service. We remain committed to delivering exceptional service to our clients and supporting the company culture that has made us a great place to work for 56 years. We are dedicated to careful and profitable growth to support our employees and further investment in strategic technologies and automation.” – Blake Dudek, President and COO.
Jay Group’s growth has many contributing factors – an expertise in Direct-to-Consumer and digitally native brands has rapidly expanded its client base as this industry has grown. The shift in consumer buying habits driven throughout the pandemic towards marketplaces and consumer goods supported by Jay Group Services such as health & wellness (Nutraceuticals, supplements, protein, vitamins), Personal Hygiene (toilet paper, deodorant, PPE). These factors have made Jay Group well positioned to respond to this shift through years of preparation and investment in technology, talent and systems.
Not only have the companies on the 2021 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2021 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are also being featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 18.
