Azzur Group, a life-science consulting company, makes the Inc. 5000 list for 2nd Straight Year


Willow Grove, PA, Sept. 3, 2013 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In a business world often oversaturated with list-making, few lists stand out as significant or noteworthy. The annual Inc. 500|5000 list of the fastest-growing U.S. private companies is one of these. In a recurring symbol of the company's expansion, Azzur Group for the 2nd time ranks on the Inc. 5000 list, coming in at 3857 in 2013 with a three-year sales growth of 73%.

"We are honored to be one of America's fastest growing private companies. This success is a testament to the dedicated work ethic of our employees, the emphasis we put on quality, and our customers to whom we are grateful for and who made it all possible. We focus on hiring the best talent in the world and it has paid off for the second year in a row," said President of Azzur Group, Mark O'Donnell.

Azzur Group has become a recognized leader in providing a variety of compliance services to the Life Sciences Industry. Their experienced staff and technical expertise have led to the fast growth that accompanies high customer satisfaction. This growth has been demonstrated in recent years by the expansion of operations, with Maryland, California and Massachusetts joining the original Pennsylvania office.

"Not all the companies in the Inc. 500|5000 rank are in glamorous industries, but in their fields they are as famous as household name companies simply by virtue of being great at what they do. They are the hidden champions of job growth and innovation, the real muscle of the American economy," says Inc. Editor Eric Schurenberg.
