SAN DIEGO, Aug. 12, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inc. magazine today revealed that GoProto has been ranked #3 in the Manufacturing segment, and #57 overall, on its annual Inc. 5000 list with an impressive growth rate of 5366%.

The Inc. 5000 list is a prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies, representing the most successful independent businesses within the United States. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

When asked, GoProto sites the following as key contributors to their fast growth:

• An adaptive supply chain, which addresses on-demand manufacturing in today's ever-changing landscape.
• The expertise to work across all manufacturing verticals with end-to-end solutions that address quick turn, on-demand, custom manufacturing of parts from prototype through production.
• A massive customer base of blue chip and up and coming players.
• A minimally-funded, privately owned business with growth that has built on customer successes, not massive VC investment.

Jesse Lea, President of GoProto, says:

"I am proudest that we are a private business with minimal funding and we were able to build GoProto on the manufacturing success of our amazing customers and the hard work of our fantastic team members."

Methodology

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.
