ACS is a Three-Time "Fastest Growing Companies" Winner

ACS Recognized as one of South Carolina’s Fastest Growing Companies in 2024

Air Compressor Services has once again received honors for being one of the 50 “Fastest Growing Companies in South Carolina.” The list recognizes the achievements of South Carolina-headquartered companies that have contributed to the Palmetto State’s economy through exceptional increases in revenue and employment. This is ACS’s third consecutive year as a winner.

Integrated Media Publishing, publisher of Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, Charleston Business Magazine, and B2B: The Grand Strand, partners with The Capital Corporation to honor these South Carolina companies. The program is in its 23rd year.

"Being recognized as one of the Fastest Growing Companies in South Carolina for the third consecutive year is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our entire team,” commented ACS Founder Neal Shade. “This achievement reflects our commitment to delivering exceptional service, driving innovation in our industry, and making a positive impact in the communities we serve. We are incredibly proud of this honor and excited about the future as we continue to grow and evolve."

Companies are judged on year-over-year growth over the past three years in the categories of revenue and employee headcount. For the first 20 years, the program honored the 25 Fastest Growing Companies, but the list was expanded to 50 companies three years ago. “South Carolina is fortunate to have so many fantastic companies headquartered here,” said Lori Coon, publisher of Greenville Business Magazine, Columbia Business Monthly, Charleston Business Magazine, and B2B: The Grand Strand. “These companies contribute so much to our economy and quality of life. We’re proud to honor the 50 companies that have shown incredible growth over the past three years. We congratulate them on what they have achieved.”

The awards ceremony will take place Oct. 1 at Columbia Metropolitan Convention Center. University of South Carolina President Michael Amiridis will be the keynote speaker. Company rankings from 1 to 50 will be announced at that event.
