NEW YORK, August 14, 2019 – Inc. magazine today revealed that Custom Pro Logistics, LLC is No. 2016 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. Microsoft, Dell, Domino’s Pizza, Pandora, Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
"We are so grateful to be on a list with such accomplished companies. Receiving this recognition reaffirms our core beliefs and what we value as a company. People and culture are what really matters and together, everyone achieves more. Every single person in the company plays an important and visible role and we could not have gotten to this position without the commitment and dedication of our stellar team. It’s an honor to work with such a great group, and we look forward to bigger and better things to come as we continue to grow and mature as a company." - Devin Reilly, CEO

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.
