Austin, TX (PRWEB) August 26, 2010

Inc. magazine today ranked YETI Coolers NO. 140 on its 29th annual Inc. 500, 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. Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Intuit, Patagonia, GoDaddy, Zipcar, Clif Bar, American Apparel, Oracle, and many other well-known names gained early exposure as members of the Inc. 500.

“Fast growth at any time is a big achievement; fast growth during the past few years is just short of miraculous,” said Inc. editor Jane Berentson. “The Inc. 500 consists of these just-short-of miraculous companies, the ones that through ingenuity and ambition have increased revenue, hired employees, and grown fast in difficult economic times.”

YETI Coolers manufactures extremely durable, super insulated coolers for serious outdoor enthusiasts. Founded in 2005 by brothers Roy and Ryan Seiders, YETI has achieved tremendous growth by focusing on building the finest products available and delivering world class customer service. “We are honored to be named to the 2010 Inc. 500 and to join such elite company,” stated CEO Roy Seiders.

YETI also ranked 3rd among Austin, TX-area companies and joined 51 other companies in Texas to make the list, as a state second only to California.
