Inc. Magazine Ranks Sunset Transportation Among Fastest-Growing Companies in Missouri, Nation

ST. LOUIS - Aug. 24, 2015 - PRLog -- For the fourth consecutive year, Sunset Transportation, Inc., a third party logistics (3PL) and freight payment provider, made the Inc. 500|5000 List of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. The 3PL leader ranked #83 in Missouri and #3925 overall nationally, and was among the top 125 businesses in the logistics and transportation industry.

Inc. Magazine’s annual list is a hallmark of entrepreneurial success and has included well-known corporations like Facebook, FitBit, Levi Strauss and Zappos. For Sunset, this honor highlights the company’s sustained growth and stability in an industry that is experiencing increased consolidation.

Sunset Credits Recognition to Customers, Team

“It’s been our focus to continue our growth while improving services and savings for our customers,” said Craig Marton, president and COO. “Being on the Inc. 500|5000 list for the fourth year is a testament to Sunset’s hard-working staff, freight agents and leadership team. We also owe our sustained growth, expansion and success to our loyal customers and industry partners.”

Inc. reported Sunset’s three-year overall growth at 76 percent. The national logistics leader is providing jobs across the country; it has increased its staff by 20 percent, opened a new location in Bend, Oregon, and expanded two existing branches—Chicago and Grand Haven, Michigan—into larger locations.

In 2015, Sunset has also been recognized as a Top Workplace in St. Louis and its CFO Mark Cammarata was named CFO of the Year.

Sunset Continues Expansion Despite Industry Consolidation

Sunset’s strategic growth shows no signs of stopping, according to Marton. Even though there is consolidation occurring in the freight industry as a whole, Sunset is doing just the opposite.

In 2016, the company has plans to open a Nashville branch and expand their St. Louis operations with a dedicated Sunset Financial branch, which also translates into increased employment and expansion opportunities nationwide.
