Verity Appears as 3-Time Honoree on the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Companies in America List

Inc. magazine revealed Verity Commercial as one of the fastest-growing private companies in America – landing Verity on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for the 3rd time in 4 years. The list represents some of the most successful companies within the American economy’s most dynamic segment – its independent businesses and their entrepreneurial success. With 80% sales growth over the last 3 years, Verity continues to exceed the national average for success.

 

Not only have the companies on the 2019 Inc. 5000 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 3-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.

 

“Making our 3rd appearance on the most prestigious ranking for the nation’s fastest-growing businesses is incredible,” says Herm Diebler co-Founder of Verity. “Repeated success means we’re doing something right and our clients are experiencing long-term success using Verity’s approach. We wouldn’t be here without them.”

 

Verity’s successful growth is credited to understanding the importance of real estate and its value to their clients’ business, growth opportunities, and wealth creation. Also attributing to Verity’s success is a team driven by a culture deeply rooted in trust and teamwork. Verity’s team approach brings successful results to clients ranging from local business owners to delivering some of the most technically difficult and recognizable facilities in the Washington, DC metro area including data centers, laboratories, and large urban mixed-use projects.

 

“Verity’s team plays a critical role in our success,” says Ken Traenkle, co-Founder of Verity. “We work together sharing our expertise and knowledge with each other. The result – our clients have a team of diverse experts supporting and advising them. It’s truly an impressive group. We couldn’t have achieved this without them – thank you.”

 

Inc. 5000’s announcement follows Reston Chamber’s news naming Verity 2019 ACE Business of the Year.

 

Verity would like to thank its valued clients, peers, and dedicated team members who made this recognition possible.
