San Luis Obispo packing company Meathead Movers once again made the fastest growing list this year, ranking 4,903rd out of 5,000.

This is the eighth consecutive year that the company has been recognized by the magazine; its highest ranking was 2,781st in 2014.

Only about 2% of all Inc. 5000 companies appear on the list eight times or more, according to a Meathead Movers news release.

“Knowing that we are in the top 2% of companies on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list is nothing short of amazing,” CEO Aaron Steed said in the release. “It reminds us that we are doing so much more than simply moving our customers; we are growing alongside our communities and maintaining our founding principles of supporting athletes as they work their way through college in pursuit of the American dream.”

According to Inc., the company grew by 55 percent in the past three years. It employs 744 people and reported annual revenue of $20.3 million in 2018.

Part of its recent growth can be attributed to the opening of a Bakersfield branch, as well as the Meathead Wine Storage facility in San Luis Obispo.
