Growing Private Companies” 2 Years in a Row
Metrofuser Ranks on the 2009 Inc. 5000
With Three-Year Sales Growth of 227%
NEW YORK, August 14, 2009 -- Inc. magazine today ranked (www.metrofuser.com)
Metrofuser on its third annual Inc. 5000, an exclusive ranking of
the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the
most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the
economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Consumer electronics
maker Vizio, Internet giant GoDaddy, rental car service Zipcar, and
beverage maker Honest Tea are among the prominent brands featured on
this year's list.
Metrofuser remanufactures and distributes HP and Lexmark printer parts.
The company distributes OEM and Compatible parts nationwide and has
built its reputation on pioneering “better-than-OEM” remanufactured
printer parts.
The 2009 Inc. 5000, unveiled today on Inc.com, serves as a unique report
card on the U.S. economy. Despite the ongoing recession, aggregate
revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $214
billion, up $29 billion from last year, with a median three-year growth
rate of 126 percent. The Inc. 5000 are responsible for creating more
than 1 million jobs since their founding, making the list perhaps the
best example of the impact private, fast-growing companies can have on
the economy.
The Hottest Regions for Fast-Growing Companies
Once again, California tops the Inc. 5000 with the most companies of any
state with 612. The Golden State is followed by Texas (393), New York
(316), Florida (263), and Virginia (261). All 50 states, plus
Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico, are represented on this year’s list.
The Inc. 5000 at a Glance

Methodology

through 2008. To qualify, companies must have been founded and
generating revenue by the first week of 2005, and therefore able to show
