TRABUS Makes the Inc. 5000 Six Years in a Row

San Diego, CA (August 12, 2020) – We are delighted to announce that Trabus Technologies has once again been named one of the 5,000 fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States by Inc. magazine. TRABUS, now a six-time honoree, was ranked #3250 on the Inc. 5000 this year with a three-year growth rate of 116 percent.

The list, published by Inc. magazine, represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known companies first gained national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“This is an accomplishment I’m incredibly proud of,” said Art Salindong, the company’s owner and managing director. “TRABUS has made the Inc. 5000 for the last six consecutive years—every year of eligibility—this means we’re running a sound business with a strong future ahead of it.”

Unlike other lists based on a company’s net worth, the Inc. 5000 showcases the most noteworthy examples of company growth and development. This powerful metric gives credit to the devoted entrepreneurs who roll-up their sleeves and work to build something sustainable. “The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business,” said Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. “From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism.”
