HEGINS - Inc. magazine awarded Ashland Technologies Inc. its fourth consecutive ranking on the nation's fastest-growing private companies list. This is nearly unprecedented for a contract machining/fabricating company, Ashland Technologies reported in a press release.
Companies such as Microsoft, Zappos, Jamba Juice, Zipcar, Clif Bar, Vizio and many other well-known names gained early exposure with recognition from Inc.
President Bill Wydra Jr attributes the incredible growth to great customers and "the industry's best employees."
He credits the company's effort to use constantly improving equipment and more efficient ways of completing projects, but also by employing skilled workers and equipping them with the latest technologies.
The machined and fabricated parts manufactured by the company are made for the theme park, fast-food restaurant and renewable energy industries, among others.
In the past four years of Ashland Technologies being part of Inc. magazine's fastest-growing private companies, it had sales growth of 248 percent and tripled its employment.
