Durante Rentals Named to Inc. 5000 for Fifth Consecutive Year
Durante Rentals, with eight locations in the New York Tri-State area, has been selected to the Inc. 5000 listing of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the United States for the fifth consecutive year. Ranked at No. 1476 on the 36th annual list, this is Durante Rentals’ highest placement to date.
After five straight years on the list, Durante Rentals is now a member of the prestigious Inc. 5000 Honor Roll.
“Being selected to the Inc. 5000 list for five consecutive years is quite an accomplishment and a true testament to the dedication, hard work, and innovative mindset our people bring to work every day, year after year,” said co-founder and chief financial officer Chris Jones. “Our ability to execute on our team-centric business plan has enabled us to succeed in a ultra-competitive industry like ours.”
Durante Rentals’ previous rankings were No. 1879 in 2013, No. 2098 in 2014, No. 1869 in 2015 and No. 1643 in 2016. Durante Rentals made this year’s list with a three-year sales growth rate of 274 percent and 2016 annual sales of $26.5 million. Durante Rentals has been responsible for creating more than 60 new jobs in the local New York and Tri-State economy during the past three years.
“It is an honor to be included once again on Inc. Magazine’s Fastest Growing List at our best ranking to date,” said co-founder and president John Durante. “As we continue to develop our team grow in-store revenue, and add several new stores each year, we hope to stay on the list for years to come. This five-year journey would not have been possible without the help of our great team members, vendors, and industry finance partners, all of whom deserve this recognition.”
