2024, earning the No. 1430 spot. As one of only two Consumer
Product Goods companies in Oregon
to be recognized, this achievement underscores the company's
remarkable growth and success. Portland Pet Food Company's

competitive landscape of independent and entrepreneurial businesses
across the nation.

"We are deeply honored to be named on the Inc. 5000 list for the
first time. This recognition reflects the unwavering commitment,
hard work and passion of our entire team," said Katie McCarron, founder of Portland Pet Food
Company. "From the beginning, our mission was to offer healthy,
sustainable, human-grade pet food that enhances the lives of pets
and their owners. This is fantastic news, aligning perfectly with
the kickoff of our biggest tradeshow, SuperZoo, and the celebration
of our 10th anniversary in business. We're proud to have expanded
our reach to 5,700 retail stores across the U.S., Canada, South
Korea, Hong Kong and
Japan, continuing our commitment
to quality and care."
Portland Pet Food Company's remarkable growth is evidenced by
its 359% three-year revenue growth rate, positioning it among the
top-performing companies. As a leading brand in the fresh pet food
category, the company continues to benefit from increased consumer
focus on high-quality pet nutrition sourced only in the United States. As an industry, U.S. fresh
pet food sales are expected to grow at a nearly 30% compound annual
growth rate from 2023 to 2028, according to a recent Technavio
report. The Inc. 5000 class of 2024 represents companies that have
driven rapid revenue growth while navigating inflationary pressure,
the rising costs of capital and seemingly intractable hiring
challenges. In all, this year's Inc. 5000 companies have added
874,458 jobs to the economy over the past three years.

All 5000 companies are featured on Inc.com starting today,
August 13, and the top 500 appear in
the new issue of Inc. magazine, available on newsstands beginning
Tuesday, August 20.
"One of the greatest joys of my job is going through the Inc.
5000 list," says Mike Hofman, who
recently joined Inc. as editor-in-chief. "To see all of the
intriguing and surprising ways that companies are transforming
sectors, from health care and AI to apparel and pet food, is
fascinating for me as a journalist and storyteller. Congratulations
to this year's honorees, as well, for growing their businesses fast
despite the economic disruption we all faced over the past three
years, from supply chain woes to inflation to changes in the
workforce."
