Air Compressor Services ranks No. 2645 on the 2025 Inc. 5000 list for the fourth consecutive year
August 20, 2025GREENVILLE, SC – Inc. announced that Air Compressor Services is No. 2645 on the annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list provides a data-driven snapshot of the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent, entrepreneurial businesses. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Under Armour, Timberland, Oracle, and Patagonia.
Air Compressor Services, based in Greenville, S.C., specializes in keeping industrial compressors running by supplying parts, oil, and service to minimize downtime. With rapid growth and multiple warehouses nationwide, the company positions itself as a reliable, go-to vendor for plants that depend on uninterrupted operations.
“Four years on the Inc. 5000 is an incredible honor,” said Air Compressor Services Founder Neal Shade. “It’s proof of what happens when a group of people show up every day ready to outwork yesterday, treating customers like true partners and refusing to settle for ‘good enough.’ We’re proud of what we’ve built, but even more grateful for the people, customers, and families who’ve fueled this journey. They’re the reason our growth story isn’t just about revenue but also the impact we’re making.”
This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth while navigating economic uncertainty, inflationary pressure, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and those companies have collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.
