FIRST-EVER LIST OF THE 5,000 FASTEST-GROWING BUSINESSES
REPORTS TOTAL REVENUE OF $194.5 BILLION
Xerographic Document Solutions Inc. Ranks No. 4873 on the 2007 Inc. 5,000
With Three-Year Sales Growth of 27.9 %
NEW YORK, August 23, 2007 – Inc. today ranked Xerographic Document Solutions
Inc. No.4873 on its first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private
companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to
grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms.
Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
“The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important
part of the economy – the entrepreneurial part,” said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager
Jim Melloan. “The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of
larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like
Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media.
Xerographic Document Solutions Inc., located in Robbinsville, NJ, is owned and
operated by brothers Rich and Bob Weise, and specializes in all areas of document
output and document management including printing, copying, faxing, scanning,
and network services. Veterans to the document industry, Rich and Bob have a combined
46 years of industry experience and have grown Xerographic Document Solutions
to a business that now serves over 2,000 customers in the state of New Jersey.
With multiple manufacturer partnerships, Rich and Bob are proud to offer a portfolio
of world–class solutions, including color and monochrome digital copiers, multi-function
devices, color printers, wide format and production print systems, as well as
a broad range of service and related imaging consumables. The 2007 Inc. 5,000, as revealed online at www.inc.com, reported median revenue of $9.4 million and median three-year growth of 140
percent. Complete information on this year’s Inc. 5,000, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000. The list features a profile for each company, almost all of them written as
a result of Inc. interviews with management. In addition, the list is searchable according to
numerous criteria, including industry, city, state, region, and year founded.
