BOLINGBROOK, Illinois – After announcing their merger with Vision Integrated Graphics Group, a leading full-service marketing solutions provider, in April, Tobe Direct has already had an exciting 2015. To add to an already banner year, they can now include being named one of Inc. 5000’s fastest-growing private companies in America for the third time in the past four years.

Last week, Inc. Magazine announced its 34^th annual Inc. 5000 ranking and Tobe Direct stands alongside an elite 5,000 out of approximately seven million privately-held businesses across the nation. To be featured on the list, businesses must meet multiple criteria, including having a revenue of at least $2 million in 2014.

2014 was a year of unprecedented growth for Tobe. They increased their revenue over 85% due to the addition of 78 new customers and new opportunities within their existing customer base.

“Making the Inc. 5000 for the third time in the past four years is a strong testament to our proven customer relationships and the hard work of our Tobe Direct employees,” said John Tobe, CEO of Tobe Direct. “Their dedication to providing our customers with the highest level of service and always figuring out a way to get the job done has allowed us to continuously grow and open up new opportunities for our business.” 

Last year, Doug Powell and his team at Vision Integrated Graphics Group took notice of Tobe Direct’s tremendous success and their potential for continued growth. This past April the two companies completed a deal to merge their businesses and form one of the most dynamic marketing solutions companies in Chicagoland and the country. 

“I am extremely excited to see how our recent merger with Vision Integrated Graphics Group will allow us to continue our impressive growth trajectory and claim a future spot on the esteemed Inc. 5000 list for many years to come,” said Tobe.
