The city has announced a list of the top 40 fastest growing companies in Hamilton.

The Hamilton Fast 40 initiative comes from the city’s 2016-2020 Economic Development Action Plan that hopes to have 10 Hamilton-based businesses listed on the Canadian Business (CB) Magazine’s 500 Fastest-Growing Companies list.

“I’m thrilled with the calibre of Hamilton’s Fast 40 and even more thrilled with the fact that many of these companies went on to achieve the national ranking,” said Hamilton Mayor Fred Eisenberger. “Hamiltonians should be very proud of the inaugural list of companies on the Fast 40 and I encourage other businesses in our city to consider applying for this ranking in the spring of 2019.”
