“Of the tens of thousands of companies that have applied to the Inc. 5000 over the years, only a fraction have made the list more than once,” said James Ledbetter, editor in chief of Inc. Media. “A mere one in three have made the list two times.”
According to Ledbetter, companies that have made the list, on average, grew six-fold since 2014 during a stretch when the economy grew around 11%. Collectively, revenue from companies on this year’s list is up 158% from 2014, a trend that LPI continues to follow.
“It’s a tremendous honor and achievement for LPI to be named to the Inc. 5000 for the second straight year,” said LPI president Rich Katzmann. “We continue to invest in all aspects of our business to ensure we not only continue providing the best quality of products and services, but also innovate and develop new solutions for new markets and the evolving needs of our customers.
“We have some big things planned between now and the next few years that are pretty exciting.”
The company has several new products in development that will launch over the next couple years to accompany its popular LT-2D3D Laser Templator.
Since its founding 24 years ago, LPI has been recognized by customers, peers and associations worldwide as a leader in laser-measuring products for several industries including countertop, cabinet and woodworking.
LPI Founder Dan Louis was a 2017 inductee into the National Kitchen and Bath Association Hall of Fame.
