GeoStructures Ranked Among Fastest-Growing Private Companies
GeoStructures named by Inc. as fast-growth company in engineering and construction
Purcellville, VA (PRWEB) August 22, 2008 -- Inc. magazine today listed GeoStructures at No. 2,581 in its annual ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country. The recognition is due to company's three-year revenue increase of 141 percent, which was attributed to both an acquisition and organic growth.
Leading the growth was the company's signature Geopier® product, followed by Impact Piers® and Rapid Impact Compaction (RIC), all of which reinforce or stiffen the soil to increase bearing capacity and control settlement for low- to mid-rise structures. Growth has also been fueled by its design-build activities in the transportation sector, ranging from design/supply and construction of mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls, sound walls on permanent tied-back walls, and temporary shoring for excavation support.
"While it is gratifying to be acknowledged as a growing company, our focus has been on smart growth the last few years, so we have added people and products that are creating long-term value," says Michael Cowell, P.E., president of GeoStructures. "Growth for us will continue to be a by-product of offering our customers the products and services they need for their construction and transportation projects."
Comments Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Mellon, "Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism. The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies still showing impressive growth."
The 5000 companies that made the list reported aggregate revenue of $185 billion and median three-year growth of 147 percent. The 2008 Inc. 5000 companies were engines of job growth, having created more than 826,033 jobs since those companies were founded.
