7th Time Honoree on Elite List of America’s Fastest-Growing Private Companies

Continental Service Group, Inc., d/b/a ConServe, has been named to the 36th annual Inc. 5000 list – a prestigious ranking of the nation’s fastest-growing private companies for an incredible seventh time. The list spotlights America’s independent small and midsized businesses and conveys a unique perspective of the most successful companies within the U.S. economy’s most dynamic segment. A ranking on this prestigious list has become synonymous with entrepreneurial success.

According to Eric Schurenberg, President and Editor-in-Chief of Inc. Magazine, “as a 7th time honoree, ConServe is part of a very select group of companies. We call it the Honor Roll, and less than a tenth of Inc. 5000 honorees – an already quite select group – ever achieve this milestone. ConServe’s repeat Inc. 5000 honors truly put them in rarefied company.”

“ConServe is exceptionally proud to be recognized once again on this year’s Inc. 5000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the nation” said Rich Klein, Chief Financial Officer at ConServe. He continues: “To make the list for a seventh time, and to be named to their Honor Roll for those consecutive rankings, is a great accomplishment for our team.  Our employees understand that by doing the right thing, at the right time, the right way, we achieve tremendous results. It’s a key concept underlying how our organization has redefined collections and characterized what it means to foster financial freedom.  We are honored to celebrate our repeat appearance on the prestigious annual list and the tremendous team accomplishment it symbolizes.”

The 2017 Inc. 5000 is the most competitive crop in the list’s history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year average growth of 481%. The Inc. 5000’s aggregate revenue is $206 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 619,500 jobs over the past three years.
