Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
Will DeMuth, CEO and Co-President at Metrofuser stated, "We accept this with great pride and humility. We see this as the beginning of continued consistent growth for Metrofuser." Metrofuser's standings include:

“Our second annual Inc. 5000 continues the most ambitious project in business journalism,” said Inc. 5000 Project Manager Jim Melloan. “The Inc. 5000 gives an unrivalled portrait of young, underreported companies across all industries doing fascinating things with cutting-edge business models, as well as older companies that are still showing impressive growth.”
Metrofuser re-manufactures and distributes HP-Lexmark Printer Parts. The company distributes OEM and NEXTGENN Brand parts nationwide and has built its reputation on pioneering “better-than-OEM” remanufactured printer parts.
Eric Katz, CFO and Co-President sees this accomplishment as a team effort, "This is an accomplishment that everyone who is a part of the Metrofuser team should be proud of. While it's a great honor to be on a list that has included the most innovative companies in the past few decades, this milestone is a testament to the hard work of our employees and the incredible opportunity that re-manufacturing is for both our customers and ourselves."
