SALINE, Mich., Aug. 18, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine today ranked Akervall Technologies, Inc. NO. 1130 on its 35th annual Inc. 5000, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment— its independent small businesses.
"We are extremely proud of this amazing honor," said Sassa Akervall, CEO of Akervall Technologies - makers of SISU Mouthguard and SOVA Night Guard, "and on a personal note, I'm so proud of my team who are the highest of achievers and who all are determined to be the best in our business."
The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. Akervall's revenue grew at a staggering 342% and the company added 16 new jobs over a three-year span.
"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great – usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails."
The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring all the companies on the list will be held from October 18 through 20, in San Antonio, TX.
