Orion Named to the 2016 Inc. 5000 List of America's Fastest Growing Private Companies

    ATLANTA, GA, August 18, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Orion Technology Services, an award-winning provider of managed IT & security solutions, announced today that it has been named #260 on Inc. Magazine's 34th annual list of America's fastest-growing private companies - the Inc. 5000.

"We are extremely proud to be named one of the fastest growing private companies in America by Inc. Magazine," said Matthew Singley, Founder of Orion. "This is our first year on the Inc. 5000 list, and I never expected to have such a high placement. This acknowledgment is a testament to our entire team. I look forward to maintaining this momentum and continuing to grow this company."

"Being named to not just the Inc. 5000, but the Inc. 500 the first year that we qualify is outstanding," said Ed Kourany, CEO of Orion. "This award solidifies our reputation as a customer-centric IT company that is focused on providing the best support to our clients evolving needs. We could not have grown this rapidly without this dedication."

Orion was ranked number 260 on the list, with a three-year sales growth of 1,531%. This tremendous growth rate also helped Orion achieve #14 Company in Georgia on the list, and #12 in Metro Atlanta. Industry-wide Orion ranked in the top 50 of IT Services companies listed on the Inc. 5000.

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great - usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails."

According to the magazine, this is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about 8% of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period.
