Salo makes Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies

Minneapolis based staffing company makes list for fourth year

MINNEAPOLIS – Salo LLC, the leader in driving business outcomes in finance and human resources, has made the Inc. 5000 2017 list of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

This is the fourth time Salo has made the list. Salo placed in the Inc. 500 in 2007, and placed in the Inc. 5000 in 2008 and 2009.

“Strategy, service, and innovation are commonalities among businesses on this list,” says Amy Langer, Salo co-founder. “We’re proud to be among businesses who are committed to evolution, employee retention and constantly striving to do better.”

“We’ve always had a passion for problem solving and an unrivaled network of top talent that sets us apart,” says John Folkestad, Salo co-founder. “Our clients are our partners and together, we will continue to grow and succeed.”

Salo earned a spot on the list due to 43 percent growth over the last three years. Over 500 people are employed between offices in Minneapolis and Chicago.

Founded in Minneapolis in 2002, Salo expanded into the Chicago market in 2011 and completed its first acquisition in 2014 after 12 years of exclusively organic growth. Salo has seen six straight years of consecutive growth since 2011 and continues to expand its presence in Greater Minneapolis-St. Paul and Greater Chicago markets.
