NEW YORK, August 13, 2024 – Inc. revealed today that Sgt. Sudz ranks No. 351 on the 2024 Inc. 5000! This is their annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The prestigious ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. 


SGT. SUDZ MAKES THE LIST


“Sgt. Sudz has been growing like crazy the past three years. It's been an amazing journey watching our MCC offering grow and we haven't even begun to scratch the surface," says James, President of Sgt. Sudz.

The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure, the rising costs of capital, and seemingly intractable hiring challenges. Among this year’s top 500 companies, Sgt. Sudz overall growth the past three years was 1,246%! In all, this year’s Inc. 5000 companies have added 874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years. 

 

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location, and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 will appear in the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning Tuesday, August 20. 


“One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc. 5000 list,” says Mike Hofman, who recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. “To see all of the intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations to this year’s honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the workforce.” 


Sgt. Sudz has proudly made some of the best motor control centers for the car wash industry since our inception. Our systems are smart, efficient, and very intuitive for even the newest members to the car wash world. We are bringing the technology from other automation and confirguring them to managing the most complex car wash equipment designs. With our latest advancements, like the Recon IQ, Remote IQ, and Flow IQ, we are expecting even more growth through the rest of 2024 and beyond.

Methodology 

Companies on the 2024 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2023. (Since then, some on the list may have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2020 is $100,000; the minimum for 2023 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Growth rates used to determine company rankings were calculated to four decimal places.
