Mt. Zion, IL – Hagerman & Company today announced that Inc. magazine has ranked the company on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

“We’re honored to be recognized by Inc. magazine as one of the top-growth companies in America,” Dennis Hagerman, Hagerman & Company CEO said. “This has been made possible by the tireless efforts of all of our staff and the tremendous support of our customers throughout America. We’re also grateful to Inc. magazine for making the effort to identify the top performing companies from all lines of business for recognition.”
