BRISTOL, Connecticut — October 1, 2009 – Inc. has ranked Tiger Claw Inc. #1,958 on its annual ranking of the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the country. This is the second year in a row that Tiger Claw has made the list.
The yearly Inc. 500/5000 list is the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy – America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
“Despite the U.S. housing market in its third year of the current downturn, Tiger Claw has not only weathered the storm but also continued to grow sales,” said David Hartmann, president of Tiger Claw Inc. “We have just signed a multi-year agreement with TimberTech to continue manufacturing a custom line of hidden deck fasteners. We also continue to partner with many of the nation’s leading decking material manufacturers. We have a streamline operation with a dedicated and loyal workforce. We are very proud of our collective achievements.”
Tiger Claw was founded in 2001 with three employees. Revenue for that year was $15,000. Today, Tiger Claw has 25 employees and $11.5 million in 2008 revenue, with a three-year sales growth of 163.1%.
