“Our distributor owners’ recognition on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list reflects the exceptional entrepreneurs who make up our network and the culture of excellence that drives their success,” says Vera Muzzillo, CEO of Proforma. “We’re proud to celebrate their achievements and remain steadfast to our mission of empowering distributor success.”
One such success is Connecticut-based distributor Full Throttle Marketing, which is No. 943 in this year’s list. “Being part of the Proforma network has helped us turn our goals into achievements, and we are grateful to reach this milestone,” says Justin Washburn, co-owner of Full Throttle Marketing.
For California-based distributor Radar Promotions, this is its third year being featured on the Inc. 5000 list. “Radar Promotions has thrived by prioritizing unparalleled client-centricity, partnership-building and our signature white glove service,” says Ryan Paules, CEO of Radar Promotions. “This sustained, multi-year accolade is a testament to our collaborative team-selling approach, our incredible client-partners and our trusted design, manufacturing and imprinting partners.”
Another example of longevity on the list is business services provider Binated, which focuses on technology products and back-office solutions. “Four years in a row is something to celebrate, but it’s also a reminder that trust is earned every day,” says Anish Varghese, CEO and founder of Binated.
Making The List
Companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list are ranked according to their percentage revenue growth over three years, from 2022 to 2025. To qualify, companies must be privately held, for-profit, based in the U.S. and independent (not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies) as of December 31, 2025.
- Since then, some companies on the list may have gone public or been acquired.
- Companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2022.
- The minimum revenue requirement is $100,000 for 2022 and $2 million for 2025.
“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision making and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance. It reflects creativity, resilience and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
