First Orion Makes List of Fastest Growing Companies by Inc. Magazine

How is First Orion doing? Well … we were just named to the influential Inc. 5000 Regionals Southeast list – ranking No. 144. We were the only company in Arkansas to make the cut.

It’s an honor to receive this award and we’re happy to represent our state on this respected list!

Inc. 5000 Regional Award

Inc. 5000 is the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies based in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Puerto Rico, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

Between 2018 and 2020, these 173 private companies had an average growth rate of 147% percent and, in 2020 alone, they added 27,794 jobs and nearly $4.9 billion to the Southeast region’s economy.
