HOUSTON, Oct. 25, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The accelerating growth track of Houston-based MedSource was recognized again recently when Biospace named the company as the # 4 fastest growing private life science company in the United States. The Biospace ranking was determined by growth rates reported in the widely recognized Inc. 5000 list. The ranking highlighted MedSource's three-year growth rate of 347 percent. The recognition was one of several key milestones during 2018, including:
- MedSource was included in the 2018 Inc. 5000 list at # 1363, making it their 6th appearance on the well-known list. The company was also recognized again as a Hall of Fame honoree. Inc. annually ranks the country's fastest-growing private companies across all industries.
- MedSource made a seventh appearance on the Houston Business Journal's Fast 100 list of the fastest growing companies in Houston. The company was ranked 43rd this time around. They have been ranked as high as #3 in the past.
The rankings come as MedSource continues rapid growth that has included international expansion as well as the addition of new clinical research services to better support customer needs.
