NEW YORK, Oct. 01, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: MWK), the tech-enabled, consumer-focused product company, today announced its addition to the Inc. 5000 2019 list. Mohawk Group Holdings, Inc’s (“Mohawk’s”) three-year revenue growth of 707% earned the company a ranking of 622nd out of 5000 of the fastest growing companies in the nation.
Prior to Mohawk’s initial public offering in June 2019, the Company had already established itself as one of the fastest growing private consumer companies in the U.S., posting revenue growth at more than 100% year-over-year since it was founded in April 2014.
“As a five-year old technology and consumer-focused company working in the rapidly evolving retail industry, we are honored to be recognized as one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S.,” said Yaniv Sarig, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Mohawk Group. “This recognition further validates our belief that being holistically connected to the voice of the consumer will be key to continuing to drive our success in today’s digital-first marketplace.”
The Inc. 5000 is a list of the fastest-growing private companies in the nation. Started in 1982, this prestigious list has become the hallmark of entrepreneurial success.
“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.”
Mohawk Group is expected to announce its third quarter earnings results on November 5, 2019.
