We are thrilled to share remarkable news with our community, partners, and clients. Our company, Protrade Logistics Corp., has been recognized as the No. 7 fastest-growing private company on the prestigious Inc. 5000 Regionals: Midwest list for 2025.
This recognition arrives at a particularly meaningful moment as we celebrate our fourth year in business. In this short time, we've transformed from a family-owned vision into one of the Midwest's most dynamic logistics providers, standing alongside 139 other impressive companies that collectively achieved an average growth rate of 86% between 2021 and 2023.
As our CEO Jose Benitez expressed,
"Embarking on a new chapter, this year has been truly remarkable for us. We celebrate four years in business and earned a top spot on the Midwest Regional Inc. list, underscoring our achievements and potential."
Our journey hasn't been without its challenges, but our steadfast commitment to exceptional logistics services, efficiency, and innovation has set us apart in the industry. Our specialized expertise in trade show and live event logistics, backed by over 20 years of combined experience among our leadership team, has been instrumental in forging the strategic partnerships that have fueled our growth.
This recognition from Inc. magazine – the trusted voice in entrepreneurship and business growth – affirms our strategic vision and and reinforces our dedication to continuing this trajectory of excellence.
Looking ahead, we remain committed to energizing our regional economy while engineering the future of logistics. The companies on this year's list collectively added 14,110 jobs and $13.2 billion to the Midwest economy by 2023– a testament to the impact of visionary businesses like ours.
To our dedicated team, loyal clients, and supportive partners: thank you for being an integral part of our success story. As we celebrate this milestone in our fourth year, we're more excited than ever about the journey ahead.
