South Carolina's 50 Fastest Growing Companies
Oct 01, 2024 02:11PM ● By Donna WalkerColumbia, S.C. (Oct. 1, 2024) – Columbia-based Integer Technologies was named South Carolina’s Fastest Growing Company in the 2024 50 Fastest Growing Companies competition. South Carolina's 50 Fastest Growing Companies competition is the annual ranking of the Palmetto State's 50 most dynamic and successful companies.
This year’s recipients were honored at a luncheon at the Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center Oct. 1, where Michael Amiridis, Ph.D., president of the University of South Carolina, was the keynote speaker. The event recognizes an exceptional and diverse assembly of businesses from across the state among its Top 50 winners.
To be eligible for the SC 50 Fastest Growing Companies Award, the company must be headquartered in South Carolina and be in business for at least three years and show revenues of more than $3 million in the last fiscal year. The companies are selected using a calculation based on year-over-year growth of revenue and employee headcount over the last three years.
Once companies submit their data, they are notified of whether they placed in the competition, but rankings are not announced until the recognition luncheon.
Integrated Media Publishing, publisher of Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, Charleston Business Magazine, and B2B: The Grand Strand, partners with The Capital Corporation to honor these South Carolina companies. The program is in its 23rd year.
Partner sponsors are The Capital Corporation, TD Bank; Nelson Mullins Riley & Scarborough, LLP; and Integrated Media Publishing.
For the first 20 years, the program honored the 25 Fastest Growing Companies, but the list was expanded to 50 companies three years ago.
“We are excited to recognize these South Carolina-headquartered companies that are so important to the economic health and quality of life in the Palmetto State,” said Lori Coon, publisher of Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, Charleston Business Magazine, and B2B: The Grand Strand. “We congratulate all of honorees for their accomplishments.”
In addition to the 50 Fastest Growing Companies, awards were also given for Excellence in Business.
The Employee Retention Award went to Clayton Construction Company, with an average employee tenure of 12 years.
The Growth in Revenues Award was presented to Bintelli, which saw 244 percent growth from 2021 to 2023.
The Client Retention Award went to Year Round Pool Company, which had an average 23 years’ duration on its top 10 customers.
The Community/Philanthropic Impact Award went to Calder Brothers Company, where all 110 full-time employees of Calder Brothers participated in company-sponsored philanthropic activities in 2023.
The South Carolina Economic Impact Award, presented by BMW Manufacturing, recognizes companies in the Palmetto State whose activities have produced extraordinary results. This award honors companies from all regions of the state and across multiple industries for their outstanding contributions to the South Carolina economy. This year’s award was presented to Southeastern Freight Lines.
The C. Dan Adams Lifetime Achievement Award, named for the founder of The Capital Corporation, was given for the first time last year. This year’s recipient was Jim Newsome, past president and CEO of the South Carolina Ports Authority.
