"The leaders of the companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have figured out how to grow their businesses during the longest recession since the Great Depression," said Inc. president Bob LaPointe. "The 2010 Inc. 5000 showcases a particularly hardy group of entrepreneurs."

Founded in 1997, Excalibur Exhibits employs 24 employees at its 50,000 square foot Houston facility. "Even in today's challenging business climate, Excalibur Exhibits has been able to maintain a positive growth strategy by successfully managing our business, our expenses, and our investments. Our success is attributed to our ability to find creative ways for our clients to stretch their marketing budgets and garner measurable results," offered Peggy Swords, President and Founder of Excalibur Exhibits.

Despite the fact that most of this year's measuring period of 2006-2009 took place during the latest recession, aggregate revenue among the companies on the list actually increased to $321.6 billion, up more than 50 percent from last year. The effects of the recession are seen, however, in the median three-year growth rate, which dropped to 96 percent from last year's 126 percent. This year's Inc. 5000 employ a record 1.4 million people, up from one million on last year's list. With unemployment remaining stubbornly high, policymakers and business leaders will do well to look to the Inc. 5000 companies for fresh ideas on achieving growth and creating jobs.
