NEW YORK, August 13, 2013 – Inc. magazine today ranked ISHPI 1933^rd on the annual Inc. 5000 listing of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, marking ISHPI’s third consecutive year on the Inc. 5000 listing.  The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent entrepreneurs.

For 32 years, Inc. has welcomed the fastest growing private companies in America into a very exclusive club.  “Make no mistake:  The Inc. 5000 was harder to get into this year than ever in its history,” says Eric Schurenberg, Editor in Chief of Inc. Magazine.  “The median company on the list increased sales more than 140% since the start of 2010, while the average honoree grew a mind-boggling 468%.  Those are results most companies could only dream of in the economy of the past three years.”

“It’s great to be recognized for our fast-paced growth during three consecutive years of the most difficult economic times in recent history,” said Earl D. Bowers, ISHPI’s Vice President of Corporate Development.  “It’s great because it validates our core belief that a driven, socially responsible company that treats its customers fairly and employees well can thrive in any business environment.”
