PARSIPPANY, NJ — New York City and New Jersey Office Refreshment leader Corporate Essentials has been named to Inc Magazine’s Inc 5,000 list of the fastest growing, privately held companies in the United States for the second consecutive year, and third time overall.
“Being named to the Inc. 5,000 list is the pay off for all of the hard work we do,” said Judson Kleinman, Corporate Essentials President. “We have a great team with a passion for what we do, that is a combination that is hard to beat.”
Corporate Essentials comes in at number 3,133 this year, and is once again the highest ranking office coffee / refreshment service on the on the Inc. 5,000 list, just as it was in 2011 and 2007.
“The fact that we’re constantly innovating, and not afraid of change allows us to be a company always able to adapt to our customers’ unique needs,” said Kleinman. “In the past few months we’ve done everything from add new, state-of-the-art touchscreen coffee brewers to roll out free vending solutions for companies of more than 2,500 employees.”
One of the factors allowing Corporate Essentials to better service their customers’ needs is their brand new warehouse and office location in Parsippany, New Jersey, which is more than double the size of their previous facility.
“I liken moving into our new building to a graduation,” said Kleinman. “For the first 17 years we were in business, we grew up and learned in our Fairfield (New Jersey) office, and now it was time to move on to bigger and better things.”
According to their company profile on the Inc 5,000 website, over the past three years, Corporate Essentials has seen a 3-year growth of 67%, and has added a total of 11 new jobs since it first made the Inc 5,000 list in 2007.
“In this economic climate, it isn’t too often you hear about anyone creating new jobs,” said Kleinman. “The fact that we have created 11 new jobs at Corporate Essentials, and another 4 new jobs at Shoffee.com shows we must be doing something right.”
Shoffee.com, an internet retail coffee business also led by Kleinman, landed on this year’s Inc. 5,000 list at number 651 overall.
