Inc. Magazine names CRDN to list of fastest-growing businesses for third straight year

August 14, 2009
The Certified Restoration Drycleaning Network (CRDN), an international organization of textile restoration specialists serving the insurance industry, has been named one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for the third year in a row, according to Inc. magazine.

BERKLEY, MI, AUGUST 14, 2009 – The Certified Restoration Drycleaning Network (CRDN), an international organization of textile restoration specialists serving the insurance industry, has been named one of the fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. for the third year in a row, according to Inc. magazine.

Founded in 2001, CRDN reported growth of 72.1%, which has resulted from ongoing education of the insurance industry about the cost-effectiveness of restoring damaged textiles instead of replacing them.  CRDN specializes in restoring garments and other fabric items damaged by smoke, fire, water, mold or other contaminants.  Covering 94% of the U.S., CRDN has achieved an average success rate of 98%, saving insurance companies millions of dollars each year.

The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine’s annual Inc. 500 list, recognizes many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms. Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.

“We are extremely pleased to be acknowledged by Inc. magazine for the third straight year,” said Chip Bifano, CRDN’s president.  “This recognition validates the continued efforts of our team at every level-from the corporate office to each local CRDN business-to understand the needs of the insurance industry and provide a valuable solution. 

“Our focus on education and highly professional service has enabled us to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve, namely insurance adjusters, restoration contractors and their customers,” Bifano added.  “It is also very rewarding to be a part of noteworthy growth for each of our members coast-to-coast and to support their efforts to build sustainable, meaningful businesses.”
