Two HME equipment vendors have recently made Inc. Magazine’s Inc. 5000 list of Fastest Growing Companies: sleep therapy equipment maker 3B Medical and manufacturer of various HME items Sunset Healthcare Solutions.

“Our high year-over-year growth rate reflects our commitment to designing innovative new medical devices to service respiratory and sleep patients,” said Alex Lucio, CEO of 3B Medical. “… One of 3B Medical’s strengths is speed to market on devices that meet the actual needs of patients. With a substantial new product pipeline, 3B Medical intends to continue its climb upward on the Inc 5000 list.”

“Sunset is proud to appear alongside some of the country’s most dynamic companies,” said PJ Ruflin, vice president of sales for Sunset. This year’s inclusion marked Sunset’s eighth appearance on the Inc. 5000 since 2011. “We truly couldn’t do it without our loyal customer base.”

Notably, the 2019 Inc. 5000 achieved a three-year average growth of 454 percent. 3B Medical notched a three-year growth of 227 percent and Sunset enjoyed a 216 percent three-year growth.

“The companies on this year’s Inc. 5000 have followed so many different paths to success,” says Inc. editor in chief James Ledbetter. “There’s no single course you can follow or investment you can take that will guarantee this kind of spectacular growth. But what they have in common is persistence and seizing opportunities.”
