Phoenix, AZ, August 14, 2025 –(PR.com)– Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Meade Engineering Inc. (MEI) is No. 278 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“Being named No. 278 on the Inc. 5000 list is an incredible honor and a proud milestone for MEI,” said Johnathan Meade, CEO. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our exceptional team members, as well as the trust and collaboration of our valued industry partners. Together, we’ve built a foundation of innovation, integrity, and reliability that continues to drive our success and inspire us to reach new heights.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
