We’re thrilled to announce that Semper Foods has secured an impressive #1285 spot on this year’s Inc. 5000 list, recognizing the fastest-growing private companies in the US. This achievement highlights the remarkable success of independent and entrepreneurial businesses like ours. The Inc. 5000 has been the launchpad for renowned brands like Chobani, Zappos, and Under Armour, offering national exposure to rising stars.

Despite challenges like inflation and hiring issues, the 2023 rankings showcase exceptional growth, with the top 500 companies achieving a staggering average three-year revenue growth rate of 2,238%. Notably, the Inc. 5000 companies have collectively contributed 1,187,266 jobs to the economy in the past three years. We’re proud to be part of this elite group and look forward to continuing our dynamic journey of growth and innovation.

With 2023 marking Semper Foods’ second appearance on this list, this is a milestone worth celebrating. We managed to achieve the #1590 spot in 2022 and have now shot up to #1285, representing an advancement of 305 places in the ranking. This achievement transcends growth metrics; it’s a tribute to our exceptional team – our friends, customers, and suppliers – who championed and continue to partner in our success.

We started Semper Foods as three friends, each wielding unique skills and perspectives, with over 40 combined years in the industry. We came together knowing what worked, what didn’t, and what we were prepared to innovate. That’s the essence of Semper Foods’ origin story. From there we’ve continued to grow our headcount, market share, and constantly elevate the norm.

Several of our earliest partnerships began as industry friendships. We relied on those allies who recognized our vision and potential, and in unison, we built the foundation for mutual success. Our customers aren’t ‘just customers’; they’re our partners, exploring new ways to do business and carve out opportunities alongside us. Our invaluable supplier network is dedicated to providing innovative product solutions that maintain the excellence for which Semper Foods is known. These relationships continue to be cultivated and nurtured by the incredible team that we are proud to work alongside.

The Semper Foods family thrives on a ‘team of champions’ ethos and is constantly buzzing with the essence of collaboration. With office locations in 4 states, remote workers from 5 states, and a growing international network, you could say there is a little bit of Semper Foods action happening everywhere. From the outset, we recognized that unity is our path to triumph. We have found that by treating team members like family, work naturally metamorphoses into a fulfilling, shared journey.

As we charge into the future, we will never be satisfied with the status quo; instead, we’ll forge an entirely new path. Our values will endure unwaveringly, our partnerships will continue to flourish, and our growth will continue to be celebrated. We are not stopping at #1285. Semper Foods is pioneering uncharted territories, and we eagerly invite you to join us.
