Company Recognized for 84% Three-Year Revenue Growth, Earning a Place Among the Nation’s Most Successful Independent Businesses
Scottsdale, AZ August 11, 2026 – ArborWorks, LLC today announced it has been ranked No. 3422 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle, and Patagonia.
“Our growth has never been about chasing a number,” said Chris Miner, CEO of ArborWorks. “It comes from a simple philosophy: employees first, customers second and shareholders third. When you take care of your people, they take care of your customers, and sustainable growth follows. Being named to the Inc. 5000 is a testament to our employees and what they’ve built together.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”
Inc. will celebrate the honorees at the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala, taking place October 14–16 in Dallas, Texas and the top 500 will be listed in the Fall issue of Inc. Magazine. Tickets are on sale now.
