Broomfield e-Commerce Company Among Fastest Growing In US

BROOMFIELD, CO - From Sustainable Supply: Sustainable Supply, a national provider of building and maintenance supplies, announced today that it has been named to the Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the United States for the sixth consecutive year. As a result, the company joins the Inc. 5000 Hall of Fame and is part of only six percent of all companies who have made the list six times. The company ranked #3352 in 2018 with three-year sales growth of 116%. The list from Inc.com also identifies Sustainable Supply as one of the three fastest-growing retail companies in Colorado. Sustainable Supply’s full listing can be accessed here.

Brian Fricano, Sustainable Supply’s Founder and CEO, stated, “We are thrilled to make the Inc. 5000 list for the sixth year in a row, which I believe is a testament to our company’s people, processes, and systems. While consumers and businesses are flocking to Amazon in droves, we continue to grow rapidly and take market share in the B2B marketplace by exceeding customers’ expectations with fast delivery, great prices, and a 1st-class web experience.”

Since its beginning in 2009, Sustainable Supply has sought to capitalize on the national growth of green construction and B2B e-commerce, two highly competitive industries. The company believes that its e-commerce operations and personalized approach are what allow it to successfully compete with businesses that are much larger.

“We employ forward-thinking, customer-focused, e-commerce tools that distinguish Sustainable Supply as a prominent online retailer,” said Tyler Browne, Vice-President with the company.

Paul Corrado, the company’s Senior Marketing Manager, claims their e-commerce platform provides an advantage as they compete for business customers with Grainger and Ferguson Enterprises, “Enhancements made to the site enable us to spread the authority of our product experts across the country without having hundreds of locations to house them in.” Corrado pointed to an employee who has conducted over 900 field-based safety audits as the kind of expert and personal approach that Sustainable Supply uses to assist their clients with application assistance, custom quotes, and more.

While most categories have a “green” option, Sustainable Supply also sells the traditional products that contractors, building owners, or maintenance personnel are accustomed to using. “When a customer buys a hammer or some other traditional product that may not be ‘green,’ we bring the ‘green’ to that product through our carbon-neutral shipping policy,” said Scott Krueger, the company’s Business Development Manager.

Sustainable Supply offers further customer conveniences with its Rewards for Business program, auto-reorder capability, and one-page checkout.
