Portland Pet Food Company ranks among America's fastest-growing private companies and is one of only two Oregon-based consumer product brands recognized. A WPO 50 Fastest Growing Women-owned business as well in 2024, this family run & woman owned business provides the only shelf stable, fresh, 100% USA pet meals & treats on the market today.

PORTLAND, Ore., Aug. 16, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Today, Portland Pet Food Company (PPFC), a woman-owned producer specializing in human-grade dog meals, cat meals and dog treats, proudly announces its debut on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list for 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 inclusion on this list highlights its significant impact within the 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.

For complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, location and other criteria, go to www.inc.com/inc5000. 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."
