PlanetOne Earns Seventh Consecutive Inc. 5000 Ranking

Achieving sustainable, year-over-year record growth for seven years running has placed PlanetOne in an elite group of companies comprising less than a tenth of Inc. 5,000 honorees who have earned a spot on the Inc. 5000 “Honor Roll”

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. , Aug 16, 2017 – PlanetOne Communications, the IT and telecom industry’s preferred connectivity partner, announced today that it has been ranked by Inc. magazine as one of the nation’s fastest growing private companies, as part of the 36th Annual Inc. 5000 list. This win marks the seventh year in a row that PlanetOne has been celebrated on this prestigious list.

“This is a very important year for us on the Inc. 5000, as not only is it the seventh consecutive year in a row that we have been featured on this list, for the first time we have also earned a spot on the prestigious Inc. 5000 ‘Honor Roll,’ placing us within an elite group of companies representing less than 10 percent of all Inc. 5000 list honorees,” said Ted Schuman, CEO, PlanetOne Communications. “I am tremendously proud of the PlanetOne team for everything they have done to contribute to our success over the years, and I would also like also to thank our valued partners who stand beside us each and every day in the pursuit of business excellence.
