ST. CHARLES, Ill. — Healthcare Linen Services Group (HLSG), based here, reports it has been ranked No. 4,403 on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list, the annual list of the fastest-growing private companies in America. 

The list is the most prestigious ranking of the nation’s most successful independent and entrepreneurial businesses, recognizing companies that have achieved remarkable growth while driving innovation, creating jobs, and shaping the future of the economy. Past honorees include companies such as Microsoft, Meta, Chobani, Oracle and Patagonia.

“We are honored to be recognized on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies for the third consecutive year,” says Joseph LaPorta, president and CEO of HLSG. “This achievement reflects the continued momentum of HLSG and, most importantly, the dedication and hard work of our employees who show up every day committed to serving our customers at the highest level. 

“As we continue to grow, our focus remains on investing in our people, strengthening our operations, and delivering the quality, reliability, and service our customers have come to expect from HLSG.” 

This year’s Inc. 5000 recognizes a new class of companies redefining what growth looks like. From AI and advanced manufacturing to healthcare, consumer products, and professional services, these businesses are expanding their impact, creating jobs and proving that entrepreneurial ambition continues to fuel the U.S. economy. 

Among the 5,000 companies on the list, the median three-year revenue growth rate was 130%, and those companies have collectively added more than 627,208 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

“Every company on the Inc. 5000 has a story of perseverance, smart decision-making and a refusal to sit still,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Their growth reflects more than strong financial performance — it reflects creativity, resilience and the customer focus required to build companies that make a lasting impact. We congratulate all honorees on this significant achievement.”

Inc. will celebrate the honorees during the 2026 Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala scheduled for Oct. 14-16 in Dallas.
