Westchester County Recognizes its Fastest Growing, Privately Held Companies

Westchester County recently hosted a reception to celebrate the 70 privately held, Westchester-based companies that have ranked on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list one or more times since 2015. As part of the event, four companies were recognized with special honors, including those who have been named to the Inc. 5000 list the most times among Westchester entities.

Westchester County Executive Ken Jenkins said: “Privately held companies comprise a significant portion of Westchester’s economy. The companies in our County that have ranked on the Inc. 5000 list have prioritized growth, innovation and continued excellence in their industries – while choosing to invest in Westchester as their home. We are fortunate to have so many companies who have made this prestigious list doing business in Westchester, and we commend them on their achievements.”

Westchester County Director of Economic Development Bridget Gibbons said: “Westchester County offers a prime location, highly skilled talent pool and access to skills training and other resources that empower companies to scale. We are delighted to celebrate Westchester’s fastest growing companies and recognize the innovation and excellence that have led them to achieve this milestone.”

Westchester County Director of Entrepreneurship and Innovation Deborah Novick said: “Westchester-based companies have a long history of ranking on the Inc. 5000 list, many for more than one year. Remaining competitive requires the right balance of strategy, creativity, innovation, persistence and resilience, and we are thrilled to have so many companies who embody these qualities as part of our business community.”

In addition to recognizing the achievements of all 70 companies who have made the Inc. 5000 list since 2015, the County presented awards to four businesses:

·The Endurance Award was presented to Computer Solutions East and Macan Deve Engineers, both of whom have been awarded a spot on the Inc. 5000 list 6 times since 2015;

·The Momentum Award, recognizing outstanding longevity, was presented to FassForward consulting Group, having made the Inc. 5000 list 8 times since their founding in 2001, a remarkable achievement to maintain over such a long period of time; and

·The Rising Star Award was presented to TVIQ, which is the youngest Westchester company to make this year’s list, founded in 2021, and ranking at #77.

The event was hosted at C&A Digital, formerly Copy & Art, in White Plains, which itself has ranked on the Inc. 5000 list several times.
