OAK CREEK, Wis., Aug. 11, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global Schoolwear today announced it has been ranked No. 2347 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

"Being named to the Inc. 5000 is truly an honor, and this recognition belongs to the extraordinary people on our team and to the schools and families who place their trust in us every year," said Adam Weil, CEO of Global Schoolwear. "Helping students start the school year with confidence is a responsibility we never take for granted. Our team shows up every day with a commitment to serve schools well—shipping orders accurately, answering the phone when parents need us, and delivering on our promises during the busiest weeks of the year. I'm deeply grateful for the people who make that happen and for every school partner and family who has allowed us to be a small part of their students' journey."
This year's Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
