Ramsey, NJ – Inc. magazine today revealed that AQUABLUE is No. 31 on its third annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Northeast list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies based in Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and Vermont. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Northeast region economy’s most dynamic segment– its independent small businesses.
“We are incredibly honored to be ranked so highly in the Inc. 5000 Regionals: Northeast list. It is particularly special to note our revenue growth is more than double the average rate of private companies included on this year’s list,” says Chris Marino, CEO of AQUABLUE. “I’d like to thank our team for all their hard work and dedication as they continue to deliver and achieve service excellence for our customers and partners, without whom we would not be where we are today.”
Overperforming on 2021 projections, AQUABLUE increased its year-to-year revenue by 34% and expanded its team by 67%, bolstering leadership organically to build on the success of its Designed-to-Perform model.
The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Northeast region. Between 2018 and 2020, these 124 private companies had an average growth rate of 208% percent and, in 2020 alone, they added 5,010 jobs and nearly $2.7 billion to the Northeast region’s economy. Companies based in the New York City and Boston areas had the highest growth rate overall.
