The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

David Cox, Bradbury CEO stated, "From our humble beginnings in 1959 in Moundridge, Kansas, under the vision of our founder Floyd Bradbury, we embarked on a journey to become a global leader in engineer-to-order, automated manufacturing solutions.  Today, we are honored and thrilled to be recognized on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing privately held businesses in America!  This achievement is a testament to the legacy of those who paved the way over the last 65 years and to our 780 colleagues around the world today, whose deep commitment to our customers, each other, and our shared vision—'To be the most trusted and preferred supplier in the global markets we serve'—continues to drive us forward. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our customers, vendors, and team members for their unwavering dedication to our group of companies."

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

Methodology

Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
