Baxa Corporation Named to Inc. 5000 as One of the Fastest-Growing Private Companies in the US

Baxa Corporation announces its ranking in the third-annual list of the top 5,000 fastest-growing private businesses in the US. This is the third time that the company has been recognized for this specialty Inc.5000 business list.

Denver, CO, October 15, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Baxa Corporation announces that Inc.com has included Baxa Corporation on its annual ranking of the top 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the US. Baxa has grown by more than 36%, achieving Inc. recognition to the 5000 list all three years since its inception. This places Baxa on a prestigious list of enterprises that have appeared on the list multiple times, many of which have grown to become national icons.

“We are honored to be acknowledged as one of the fastest-growing private companies in the US,” notes Greg Baldwin, Baxa Chairman and CEO. “The Inc. 5000 list is a great example of the positive impact that independent companies have on our economy.” Baxa Corporation, founded in 1975, currently employs more than 500 associates through its Colorado headquarters, and Florida and United Kingdom subsidiary offices.

The 2009 Inc. 5000 ranking provides a unique view of the US economy. Despite the ongoing recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list increased by $29 billion from last year. These companies have created more than 1 million jobs since their founding. The Inc. 5000 list is eagerly anticipated every year because “savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate” states Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan.

The Inc. 5000 is an annual extension of Inc. magazine’s 500 list; a tenfold expansion designed to capture a better statistical picture of the overall economy. In 2009, manufacturing was listed as a top-five industry, while companies devoted to health care saw the most impressive year-over-year increases.
