Inc. Magazine Names WRS to Its Annual List of America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies--the Inc. 5000

NEW YORK and ANN ARBOR, Mich., Aug. 27, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Inc. magazine revealed that WRS is on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment — its independent small businesses. Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. WRS ranked number 2328 on the 2020 Inc. 5000.

"We're honored to be named on the annual Inc. 5000 list and I'm proud of the work our team has accomplished," said Scott Loewe, founder and managing partner of WRS. "We are on a mission to eradicate opioid dependency in orthopedics, and we are just getting started. WRS is committed to providing best in class, pain management and recovery solutions for injured workers so they can return to work as quickly, and safely, as possible. We are proud to serve these essential workers who drive America forward during uncertain and challenging times." 

Loewe founded WRS in 2009 because he thought there was a better way to manage orthopedic post-operative pain and rehabilitation. Now, as a musculoskeletal healing company, WRS provides strategic offerings to help combat the opioid epidemic. WRS is the national leader in Cold Compression Therapy (CCT).

The companies on the 2020 Inc. 5000 are competitive within their markets and the list as a whole shows staggering growth compared with prior lists as well. The 2020 Inc. 5000 achieved an incredible three-year average growth of over 500 percent, and a median rate of 165 percent. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue was $209 billion in 2019, accounting for more than 1 million jobs over the past three years.  

Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.  

"The companies on this year's Inc. 5000 come from nearly every realm of business," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "From health and software to media and hospitality, the 2020 list proves that no matter the sector, incredible growth is based on the foundations of tenacity and opportunism."
