Inc. Magazine Names Peek Packaging as the Fastest Growing Private Packaging Company in America!

   

NEW YORK, August 12, 2009 -- Inc. magazine today ranked Peek Packaging as the leader in privately held custom packaging design and supply companies on its third annual Inc. 5000 list, an exclusive ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies. The list represents the most comprehensive look at the most important segment of the economy—America’s independent-minded entrepreneurs.

 “Savvy trend spotters and those who invest in private companies know that the Inc. 5000 is the best place to find out about young companies that are achieving success through a wide variety of unprecedented business models, as well as older private companies that are still expanding at an impressive rate,” said Inc. 5000 project manager Jim Melloan.
