Metrofuser Named to Inc. Magazine’s Fastest Growing Companies
NEW YORK — Inc. has rated Metrofuser in its annual rankings of the 500 fastest-growing private companies in the country. The list is the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy —America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.
“We accept this with great pride and humility,” said Metrofuser CEO and Co-President Will DeMuth. “We see this as the beginning of continued consistent growth for Metrofuser.”
Metrofuser’s rankings include: ranked No. 470 in the top 5,000 privately owned companies; ranked No. 14 nationally in the Top 100 computers and electronics companies; ranked No. 30 in the Top 100 Businesses in New York-Northern New Jersey-Long Island, NY-NJ-PA.
“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism,” said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivaled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth.”
Metrofuser remanufactures and distributes HP and Lexmark printer parts. The company distributes OEM and NEXTGENN brand parts nationwide and has built its reputation on pioneering “better-than-OEM” remanufactured printer parts.
Eric Katz, Metrofuser CFO and co-president, sees this accomplishment as a team effort. “This is an accomplishment that everyone who is a part of the Metrofuser team should be proud of,” Katz said. “While it’s a great honor to be on a list that has included the most innovative companies in the past few decades, this milestone is a testament to the hard work of our employees and the incredible opportunity that remanufacturing is for both our customers and
ourselves.”
