PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine revealed that Customized Energy Solutions is No. 4570 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, 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 grateful to our friends, clients, partners, and associates for their trust and support over the years without which none of this could have been possible. The energy industry in which we operate is going through tremendous change that is transforming the industry in a way that can make the production and delivery of energy more sustainable and more affordable. We look forward to continuing to build upon this strong foundation in the years ahead to the benefit of not just our associates but ultimately everyone on the planet,” said Stephen Fernands, President of CES.

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 jobs over the past three years.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 10 to 12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
