Kansas City, Missouri, August 15th, 2024 – WLX | WLE is proud to announce that it earned the rank of No. 1660 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list, a prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, Patagonia, and many other household-name brands gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.
The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents a dynamic group of companies that have navigated the complexities of today’s economic environment with remarkable success. Collectively, the companies featured on this year’s list have contributed 874,458 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years, underscoring their vital role in driving national economic growth.
The Inc. 5000 list is based on percentage revenue growth from 2020 to 2023. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2020, and be U.S.-based, privately held, for-profit, and independent as of December 31, 2023. This year’s list is a testament to the strength and adaptability of the companies included, many of which have thrived in a challenging business environment.
“We are excited to be recognized among the fastest-growing private companies in America,” said Sonny Catlett, President of WLX | WLE. “Making this esteemed list is a reflection of our culture, our team’s hard work, and our dedication to innovation and outstanding customer service.”
WLX | WLE implemented the relationship-first model in 2022, which required WLX | WLE to double its sales, operations, and driver teams. Not only did the customers respond well to the focus on relationships, but so did the employees. This team-centered work environment enables WLX | WLE to make real-time decisions to achieve goals and significant growth.
