NEW YORK, NY (08.17.22) – Inc. has revealed that DS18 is No. 2001 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000.

“On a particular day I remember that my father came up to me with such security and confidence and said: ‘You will see! One day we are going to be a national brand.’ I think back to this day often as it grounds me when I see what our goals were to what we have achieved. Today, we are not just a national brand, but an international brand that sells a vast array of Audio and Electronics products to more than 40 different countries. I am humbled and grateful for all the opportunities that have come and continue to come our way. The sky’s the limit! Let’s go for more!” stated Sasha Susterman, General Manager/Biz. Development of DS18.

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. Among the top 500, the average median three-year revenue growth rate soared to 2,144 percent. Together, those companies added more than 68,394 jobs over the past three years.
