Energy Management Collaborative (EMC) today announced that Inc. Magazine has named it to the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies for a third consecutive year. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment— its independent small and midsized businesses.

EMC’s 249% growth over the last three years put the lighting conversion and service solutions provider at 1,582 on the Inc. 5000, up significantly from its rank of 3,471 in 2016. Recognized as a Top Minnesota Company, EMC is one of 86 companies on the list with headquarters in Minnesota and one of 91 companies recognized from the energy industry.

“We are proud of our continued track record as one of Inc. 5000’s fastest growing private companies,” said EMC President and CEO Jerry Johnson. “Our phenomenal growth truly reflects our committed employees and the exceptional service and value they deliver to our customers.”

The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years.

EMC’s third consecutive year on the list reflects the company’s sustained growth. “Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, only a fraction have made the list more than once,” said Inc. Media President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. “A mere one in five have made the list three times.”
