Rockville's Fastest-Growing Companies: 6 on 2016 Inc. 5000 List (ICYMIC)

ROCKVILLE, MD — A local company BarnAllen Technologies is on the fast track to success, according to the 2016 Inc. 5000 list released last week.

The annual rankings include the fastest-growing companies across the country. BarnAllen came in at No. 533, high enough to be among the top 10 companies in the state, but just shy of the 500 that will be featured in the latest issues of Inc. Magazine.

The company provides health information management for government and commercial clients, and grew 723 percent in the past three years.

Five other Rockville-based companies were also included on the Inc. 5000 list.

“The 2016 Inc. 5000 are the superheroes of the U.S. economy. America’s fastest-growing private companies wield powers like strategy, service, and innovation,” writes the magazine. “On this list you’ll find businesses that exercise the body and the mind, push the boundaries of virtual reality and 3-D printing, and delight fans with rock concerts and (in the case of the No. 1 company, LootCrate) —superheroes. Thrill to these companies' amazing exploits — and learn a thing or two about the hard, real work.”

Here are Rockville's companies on the list, and their growth in the last three years.

No. 533: BarnAllen Technologies, 723 percent growth

No. 1093: A Square Group, 354 percent growth
No. 1757: CoesterVMS, 212 percent growth
