Explotrain Makes the Prestigious INC. 5000 List

Explotrain is pleased to announce their inclusion of Inc. Magazines fastest growing small businesses in America on the annual Inc. 5000 list.

Inc. is a company that records and recognizes the top 5000 fastest growing private firms in the United States. They gather information on companies and compile the information to create their list. This year, they have announced that Explotrain, LLC. has earned a position on this prestigious list.

“Each year for 36 years, Inc. has recognized the fastest-growing private companies in America, and this year’s set of winners places the bar very high indeed. Companies that made the list, on average, have grown sixfold since 2013. During a stretch when the economy grew just 6.7 percent, that’s a result most businesses could only dream of.” -Eric Schurenberg, President and Editor in Chief, Inc. 5000 Media.

As an Inc. 5000 honoree, Explotrain LLC. now shares  Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, GoPro, Timberland, Clif Bar, Patagonia, Oracle, and dozens of other alumni that have gone on to become household names. In addition to Explotrain LLC, the class of 2017 honorees also include Bitly and S’well.

Explotrain is dedicated and continues to work on improving training with safety, reliability and realism. As Explotrain pushes forward into new areas of training capabilities with the ExploDrone system, there is only room for growth and expansion as these new technologies are honed and evolve with the current training needs of the warfighter.
