Annual List of America's Fastest Growing Companies.

Baltimore, MD (1888PressRelease) September 04, 2012 - Inc. Magazine has officially released their "Annual List of America's Fastest Growing Companies." For the first time in history, a radon mitigation company has made the list. SWAT Environmental, whose corporate headquarters is located in Lansing, Michigan, ranked #13 in the environmental industry, earning them a place in history as one of the fastest growing companies in the U.S.

Soil, Water & Air Technologies (SWAT) Environmental was launched in 2002 by James Gelina, after seeing a need for a company that can handle the workload of the country's increasing awareness of the dangers associated with radon gas. There are an estimated 8 million U.S. homes that have elevated levels of the gas (according to EPA statistics.) The company started with 1 radon mitigation technician, and has since grown to over 100 employees, spanning over 26 states.

SWAT Environmental has a unique business franchising model that sets them apart from any other company in the radon mitigation industry. The response to their franchise system has been overwhelming, and they continue to expand aggressively throughout the country. To date, they have radon mitigation operations in the following states: Colorado, Missouri, Kansas, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Michigan, Kentucky, Alabama, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, West Virginia, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Rhode Island. SWAT Environmental also plan to expand their radon mitigation operations into Canada as well as other international markets.

According to numerous studies by the Environmental Protection Agency and World Health Organization, radon gas is the number one cause of lung cancer in non-smokers, so it is a serious problem that deserves attention. As many as 1 out of every 15 families in the U.S. is living in a home with dangerous levels of radon gas. For this reason, it makes sense that there is a market for a large radon mitigation company to acquire a dominant market share as SWAT Environmental has succeeded to do. According to Jodi Hert, CFO of SWAT Environmental, they are on pace to exceed $12-million in sales in 2012. A growth rate of over 3,000% over the last 10-years is quite impressive given the economic challenges faced by business owners across the U.S.

If you are in need of radon mitigation services or would like to inquire about franchising opportunities with SWAT Environmental, they can be reached by calling 1-800-NO-RADON, which translates to 1-800-667-2366.
