Inc. magazine this month revealed that Kermit is No. 84 on its third annual Inc. 5000 Regionals: Mid-Atlantic list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies based in Washington, D.C., Delaware, Maryland, North Carolina, Virginia, and West Virginia. Born of the annual Inc. 5000 franchise, this regional list represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the Mid-Atlantic region economy’s most dynamic segment– its independent small businesses.
“It is a great honor to be named to the Inc. 5000 Regionals Mid-Atlantic list,” says Richard Palarea, co-founder and CEO of Kermit. “We are proud to not only call the Mid-Atlantic home but to also serve a number of local hospitals and health systems, helping them to greatly reduce their implant spend and take a step towards making healthcare more affordable for all.”
In 2021, Kermit was ranked No. 1204 in its first appearance on the nationwide Inc. 5000 list.
The companies on this list show a remarkable rate of growth across all industries in the Mid-Atlantic region. These 131 private companies added 7,365 jobs and $1.9 billion to the Mid-Atlantic region’s economy in 2020 alone.
Complete results of the Inc. 5000 Regionals: Mid-Atlantic, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, metro area, and other criteria, can be found at inc.com/mid-atlantic.
“This year’s Inc. 5000 Regional winners represent one of the most exceptional and exciting lists of America’s off-the-charts growth companies. They’re disrupters and job creators, and all delivered an outsize impact on the economy. Remember their names and follow their lead. These are the companies you’ll be hearing about for years to come,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc.
Kermit’s inclusion on the Inc. 5000 is only a starting point for the organization which is poised for aggressive growth in the coming years. In 2021, Kermit has already greatly expanded its team, adding nine new staff including a Chief Growth Officer and a national sales team with additional positions actively being recruited.
“After years of perfecting our offering, managing 40% of the implant spend in the state of Maryland, and saving our Mid-Atlantic hospitals tens of millions in annual spend, we know we have an impactful product to bring to all of our nation’s hospitals,” says Palarea. “The team we have assembled – from our expert strategic advisors to our software developers, support staff, and sales and marketing team – has the unparalleled industry knowledge to guide any hospital toward meaningful savings in implantable medical devices.”
