“The National Center for the Middle Market describes companies such as those on the Inc. 5000 as ‘model links’ in corporate supply chains. In a period of uncertainty and frequent shocks, their ability to deliver improves corporate customers’ resiliency. These businesses make and keep American companies competitive. Within their niches, they are as innovative and service-oriented as the most beloved household names. But rather than strategize to build brands, they earn reputations simply by virtue of how well they do what they do. They grow reference by reference until every customer in their markets knows whom to call,” according to Inc. magazine, noting that performance is the thing all the Inc. 5000 companies have in common.
