Broadleaf Commerce Named to 2019 Inc. 5000 List of Fastest-Growing Companies in America For The Third Year In A Row

Inc. Magazine has ranked Broadleaf Commerce, the enterprise eCommerce platform provider for custom commerce solutions, #3306 on its 38th annual Inc. 5000, one of the most prestigious rankings of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list provides a comprehensive look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment- its independent small and midsized businesses.

"We are delighted to have ranked for a third time as one of the fastest growing companies as part of the Inc. 5000," stated Brian Polster, CEO of Broadleaf Commerce. "As the leading platform provider for customized commerce solutions, we are extremely pleased to see our platform recognized. "

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 (which are listed online at Inc.com, with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., available on newsstands August 20) been very competitive within their markets, but the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists. The 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved an astounding three-year average growth of 454 percent, and a median rate of 157 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $237.7 billion in 2018, accounting for 1,216,308 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 https://www.inc.com/inc5000.

"The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success," says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. "There's no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities."

The annual Inc. 5000 event honoring the companies on the list will be held October 10 to 12, 2019, at the JW Marriott Desert Ridge Resort and Spa in Phoenix, Arizona. As always, speakers include some of the greatest innovators and business leaders of our generation.
