“To be honored this year is a particularly notable achievement,” wrote Inc. Editor-in-chief, Eric Schurenberg, to Inc. 500|5000 recipients on the magazine’s website. “To rank among the 2013 Inc. 5000, your company had to thrive through three of the toughest years this economy has seen in living memory. Your success in such times is eloquent testimony to your team’s creativity, resilience, and tenacity.”

“We were all thrilled to make the Inc. 5000, and even more thrilled with how high we placed. It’s extremely gratifying to be recognized like this,” said Aquatherm North America President Adam Clark. “We work hard to bring the world’s safest piping system to North America, and we expect to see continued growth as we focus on improving training and providing exceptional customer support in the coming year.”

“Not all the companies in the Inc. 500|5000 are in glamorous industries, but in their fields they are as famous as household name companies simply by virtue of being great at what they do. They are the hidden champions of job growth and innovation, the real muscle of the American economy,” said Schurenberg.
