Inc. 5000 list is the most prestigious annual ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Summit Companies surpassed its 2020 ranking of 3,417. The rapid growth is mostly due to the company’s continued aggressive acquisition strategy, commitment to great customer service, and career growth opportunities for employees.
“Summit Companies is extremely proud to receive the honor of appearing on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing companies two years in a row,” stated Jeff Evrard, CEO of Summit Companies. “Our team works hard and is united through a strong culture focused on service to our customers and communities.”
“Additionally, our complete integration strategy allows continued growth as we add new locations across the country. Our growth strategy focuses on aligning with companies and employees who are committed to best-in-class service standards and building trusting relationships with customers. Without the Summit Companies teams in place today, this award would not be possible,” stated Evrard.
Throughout the pandemic, Summit Companies continued offering the same high-quality services to customers, as fire and life safety solutions was deemed an essential service. Increased health and safety protocols were established for each location, dependent on local and federal recommendations. This year’s list proves especially resilient and flexible given 2020’s unprecedented challenges. Among the 5000 companies included on the list, the average median three-year growth rate soared to 543 percent, and median revenue reached $11.1 million.
