Air Compressor Services Ranks No. 2645 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 List

For the Fourth Consecutive Year, Air Compressor Services is Named to the Inc. 5000 List at No. 2645

Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Air Compressor Services is No. 2645 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.

“Four years on the Inc. 5000 is an incredible honor," said Air Compressor Services Founder Neal Shade. "It’s proof of what happens when a group of people show up every day ready to outwork yesterday, treating customers like true partners and refusing to settle for ‘good enough.’ We’re proud of what we’ve built, but even more grateful for the people, customers, and families who’ve fueled this journey. They’re the reason our growth story isn’t just about revenue but also the impact we’re making."

This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

They didn’t just weather the storm—they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.” Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2025 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 22–24 in Phoenix, and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
