PHOENIX, AZ, August 14, 2025 – Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business leaders shaping our future, today announced that Meade Engineering is No. 278 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.

“Being named No. 278 on the Inc. 5000 list is an incredible honor and a proud milestone for MEI,” said Johnathan Meade, CEO. “This achievement is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and expertise of our exceptional team members, as well as the trust and collaboration of our valued industry partners.
