Mount Pleasant, SC, – ISHPI was named to the Inc. 5000 list for the seventh consecutive year. For 36 years, Inc. has recognized the fastest-growing private companies in America. This year, the winners have, once again, placed the bar very high. Companies that made the list, on average, have grown six-fold since 2013. Over a stretch when the economy grew just 6.7 percent, that’s a result most businesses only dream of. “Making the list gets harder every year as your starting base grows”, said Eric Schurenberg, President and Editor in Chief at Inc. Media. “Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, only a fraction has made the list more than once. A mere two percent have made the list seven times; therefore, this is a truly extraordinary accomplishment that ISHPI has achieved to date”.

“Being recognized as an Inc. 5000 awardee for the seventh consecutive year is an incredible honor”, said Earl D. Bowers, ISHPI’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “This award belongs to the men and women of ISHPI, their unwavering dedication to our clients is the reason for ISHPI’s success. We are immensely proud to work alongside such an impressive group of mission-focused individuals. Thank you to the entire ISHPI team for making awards like this possible”.

The annual Inc. 5000 Gala event honoring the companies on the list will be held from October 10-12, 2017, in Palm Desert, CA. Speakers at the event include some of the greatest entrepreneurs of this and past generations, such as Alan Mulally from the Ford Motor Company, Daymond John from Shark Tank, and Michael Dubin from Dollar Shave Club.
