West Chester, OH, August 14, 2019 – Kingsgate Logistics, a family-owned third-party logistics company, founded in West Chester, OH, is proud to announce Inc. Magazine has named it an Inc. 5000 honoree. Every year, this prestigious organization recognizes the 5,000 fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. This is the fifth consecutive year Kingsgate has been named an Inc. 5000 company and the sixth-time receiving this achievement, having been named in 2013 and 2015-2018.

Kingsgate has continued its business growth goals, doubling their corporate headquarters and opening two satellite offices in Dayton, OH and at the University of Cincinnati’s 1819 Innovation Hub. Their YTD revenues in 2019 are up over 13% versus 2018, while in their 33rd year business.

“The entire Kingsgate team is grateful to be listed as an Inc. 5000 company again, and to continually move confidently into our future, growing year to year,” says Jeff Beckham, Owning Partner. “For us, it’s not enough to rely on the way we’ve always done it. We strive for constant innovation and growth, while remaining grounded in the legacy of our foundation. We are proud of our success and look forward to our promising future and thank our employees for their dedication to our mission and our customers and carriers for their continual support throughout our growth.”

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”

Honorees will be celebrated at the 39th Annual Inc. 5000 Gala will be held October 10-12, 2019 in Phoenix, AZ.

Methodology

The 2019 Inc. 5000 is ranked according to percentage revenue growth when comparing 2015 and 2018. To qualify, companies must have been founded and generating revenue by March 31, 2015. They had to be U.S.-based, privately held, for profit, and independent—not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies—as of December 31, 2018. (Since then, a number of companies on the list have gone public or been acquired.) The minimum revenue required for 2015 is $100,000; the minimum for 2018 is $2 million. As always, Inc. reserves the right to decline applicants for subjective reasons. Companies on the Inc. 500 are featured in Inc.’s September issue.
