Columbus, Ga., October 9th, 2015: Path-Tec, a proven provider of specimen management solutions, earned recognition as one of the 5,000 fastest growing companies in the country by Inc. Magazine.

Path-Tec claimed the number 1,489 spot on the Inc. 5000 list. The Inc. 5000 ranking reflects overall revenue growth of private companies over a three-year span.

Companies on the list must have generated at least $100,000 in revenue in 2011 and at least $2 million in 2014 to be eligible. Additionally, they must be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit and independently owned.

“As our company grows, awards like the Inc. 5000 motivate us to continue providing the best service and solutions to our customers,” said Kevin Boykin, founder and CEO of Path-Tec. “The growth we are enjoying is helping to fuel our innovation which is driving huge advancement in efficiency and productivity within our industry.”

Path-Tec delivers a broad set of client supply, logistics and technology solutions that help labs reduce costs, increase client service levels and improve overall operational efficiency. Path-Tec solutions can include product and brand management, inventory management, courier and carrier management, supply and specimen logistics and comprehensive client management technology.

“The story of this year’s Inc. 5000 is the story of great leadership. In an incredibly competitive business landscape, it takes something extraordinary to take your company to the top,” said Inc. President and editor-in-chief Eric Schurenberg. “You have to remember that the average company on the Inc. 5000 grew nearly six-fold since 2012. Business owners don’t achieve that kind of success by accident.”

Path-Tec has been recognized for its growth by a number of other organizations. Earlier this year it received recognition as one of Georgia’s 40 fastest growing companies, earning a top 20 spot on the ACG Atlanta Georgia Fast 40. Path-Tec was also awarded business of the month the Columbus Georgia Chamber of Commerce.
