Conductive and antistatic are terms to describe an ESD floor. These properties work together to prevent & dissipate harmful static charges.
With Fifth Appearance on the Inc. 5000 List, StaticWorx Makes the Inc. 5000 Honor Roll
5 min read
We’re pleased to announce that StaticWorx has made the 2024 Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing privately-held companies in the U.S. – our fifth appearance on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list. The list, released annually by Inc. Magazine, showcases the most successful and dynamic privately-owned companies in America. We are honored to stand among businesses such as Intuit, Zappos, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known enterprises that have gained their first national exposure as Inc. 5000 honorees.
This fifth appearance on the Inc. 5000 places StaticWorx on the Inc. 5000 honor roll, a select list that only a small percentage of Inc. 5000 honorees have achieved.
“We are immensely proud and honored to be listed among the Inc. 5000,” says Dave Long, StaticWorx founder and CEO. “This achievement reflects the hard work and dedication of our entire team, along with the support of our customers and partners.”
Top Products, Exceptional Customer Service, Teamwork, Passion, Memorable Interactions
The Inc. 5000 recognition is a testament to the qualities that are the foundation of our team’s commitment to excellence and that we seek to continually achieve: innovation, exceptional customer service, and a sustained focus on problem solving.
StaticWorx has grown 113% from Q1 2021 through Q4 2023. This level of growth after almost 20 years is rare, Dave says. Significant growth in revenue, for any business, requires not only top products but top-line customer service, streamlined processes, teamwork, passion, technical competency and reliability.
“Above all,” Dave says, “it requires genuinely positive, memorable interactions with clients, partners, and suppliers.”
Sustained Focus on Technical Expertise and Problem Solving Set StaticWorx Apart
Since the company’s founding in 2007, StaticWorx has focused on education and problem solving, achieved through active listing and technical expertise, a method of operation that sets StaticWorx apart from other floor companies. Most have a specific product line and try to match applications to their products. Sometimes, as the saying goes, that amounts to fitting a square peg in a round hole. It can mean anything from overlooking important client objectives to selling a floor that, while it may be a force-fit, is less than ideal for the space.
Every company claims they’re different, the most knowledgeable, the best in the business. At StaticWorx, we walk the walk. We know that every project is unique. We know that every client has their own set of goals, objectives and problems to be addressed. These things are important to clients, who entrust us with their flooring investment – and, perhaps more important, with protecting their products or equipment. As such, they are important to us.
We View Every Project Through The Lens of Problems To Be Solved
We view each project, not as a floor to be sold, but through the lens of whatever problems the client hopes to resolve. We listen closely to the client’s goals and objectives; help all stakeholders to understand the technical aspects of static-control flooring and we explain why standards like electrical resistance and walking body voltage matter, generally as well as in the context of their application. This same problem-solving approach extends to all aspects of the installation through testing and maintenance, throughout the life of the floor.
Referring to a project for an ESD floor installed in a 30,000 square-foot microelectronics lab, Paul Meyer, AIA, Partner at WorkPlace Architecture + Design, said, “…our team worked with StaticWorx…to create the perfect ESD flooring solution for our client—blending required performance… aesthetics and cost. The research and technical resources that StaticWorx provided helped to inform our team and client of the pros and cons of various ESD flooring solutions, and ultimately, guided in flooring specifications.”
This is who StaticWorx is. It’s who we always were. It’s who we will always be. It’s the reason that over the last 17 years, we’ve earned the trust of tiny startup firms to corporate giants like Amazon, Google, Benchmark, EIT and many others, as well as the U.S. military, NASA, the Social Security Administration and Department of Homeland Security, to name just a few. And let’s not forget Disney. It’s why we’ve grown and continue to grow. And it’s why, if you haven’t worked with us yet, are wondering who we are and what to expect, you can trust us too.
