For the eighth time in 10 years, Field Fastener appears on the Inc. 5000, with three-year revenue growth of 64 percent.
NEW YORK, August 12, 2020 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Field Fastener is No. 4,689 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies. Field has made the Inc 5000 list in eight (8) of the last ten (10) years, which is unheard of…..In the history of the Inc.5000 list, only 1% of companies have made the list 8 times! The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“Being recognized in 8 of the last 10 years by INC. is an incredible accomplishment for the Field team. It’s a testament to the commitment we have to our customers, and all that we do to ensure we live our mission statement, which is to have “everyone who interacts with us, LOVE us!” We are very proud of our culture and how our team is relentless about helping our customer save money and be more efficient. We are excited about our future and we know that our best days are ahead of us”, says Adam Derry, Chief Customer Officer at Field.
Not only have the companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for over 1 million jobs over the past three years.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”

The 2020 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2016 and 2019. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2016. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2019. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2016 is $100,000; the minimum for 2019 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.
