For the 6th Time, VPL Appears on the Inc. 5000 list, Ranking No. 3171 With Three-Year Revenue Growth of 168 Percent.
Columbus, OH, August 26, 2022 – Last week, Inc. revealed that VPL is No. 3171 on its annual Inc 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
“Being recognized as one of the fastest-growing companies in America by Inc. 5000 for the 6th consecutive year is a testament to the incredible VPL team. I am so proud of the team’s customer-focused culture, which in turn continues to build and strengthen VPL’s reputation in the industry,” says Eric McGlade, CEO and Co-Founder of VPL. “This is proof that doing the right thing for your customers is mutually beneficial. A big thank you to all our customers who have put their trust and confidence in our company.”
The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. Among the top 500, the average median three-year revenue growth rate soared to 2,144 percent. Together, those companies added more than 68,394 jobs over the past three years.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The top 500 companies are featured in the September issue of Inc. magazine, which will be available on August 23.
“The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today.”
“We are honored to have made the Inc 5000 list not only once or twice, but six times now,” says McGlade. “I can’t wait to see where we are as a company at this time next year.”

Inc. 5000 Methodology
Companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 are ranked according to percentage revenue growth from 2018 to 2021. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2018. They must be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2021.

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.
