About the Inc. 5000 Recognition

Wondering what it means to be one of the “fastest-growing private companies in America?”

The Inc. 5000 list represents exceptional entrepreneurial accomplishments across a variety of industries.

The companies on the list are all on an upward trajectory, even in the face of challenges within their respective markets.

It’s an honor to be included in such a prestigious list, and it’s even more exciting to have made the list for two consecutive years.

Award Criteria

To qualify for the Inc. 5000, companies must meet specific criteria, including:

• Generating substantial revenue
• Being privately held
• Demonstrating independence in operations

This year’s ranking was determined by the percentage of revenue growth over a three-year period, specifically from 2020 through 2023.

This rigorous selection process ensures that only the most dynamic and successful companies are acknowledged, putting a spotlight on their achievements.

What Our Ranking Means

Securing the #2699 position, up from #3652, serves as a validation of our team’s relentless work and steadfast commitment to serving our clients.

Over the last few years, we’ve expanded our apparel solutions to include our innovative 3PL MGMT program. Today, we’re an end-to-end supply chain management company that offers apparel-first manufacturing and fulfillment solutions.

Instead of covering only one area of the supply chain, we strive to be a one-stop-shop for our clients, providing them with scalability and flexibility in their apparel operations.

To see our growth recognized by Inc. 5000 two years in a row is an incredible achievement and motivator for our team to continue innovating and serving our clients with the 5-star support they expect from us.

Scrappy’s Success Formula

We define the word “Scrappy” as the spirit of following our dreams and creating something remarkable from humble beginnings.

Wondering how we achieved such rapid growth over a few short years?

Well, it took 15 years prior to that for us to get where we are today… and to say that journey was “hard” is a severe understatement.

However, every challenge we faced served as a learning opportunity. We’ve been able to apply those lessons and improve our solutions every single year.

The Origin Story

Our founders, Chris and Grant, had big dreams from the very beginning.

Despite having promising corporate careers ahead of them, both felt a pull toward something deeper—an entrepreneurial adventure of their own.

In 2006, a pivotal conversation ignited the idea that would lead to the birth of Scrappy Apparel Company.

The initial four years were an uphill battle marked by relentless dedication and sacrifice. Chris and Grant pressed every single shirt themselves, juggling side jobs such as coaching, bartending, waiting tables, and valet parking to fund their venture.

In the startup years, they reinvested every penny back into the business. “Work Hard and Hustle” became a mantra that encapsulated their resilience during challenging times.

Through networking and persistent effort, they tackled various projects that bolstered their growth: launching Scrappy Music to support independent musicians, designing and selling t-shirts for the North Coast Music Festival, and hosting “Scrappy Hours” with local bands and breweries in Atlanta.

With each passing year, they expanded their network to include the best vendors, suppliers, and craftsmen around the world.

With enterprise-level resources at their fingertips, Scrappy became one of the top manufacturers in the apparel industry.

But the growth didn’t stop there.

After making the Inc. 5000 list in 2023, we expanded our fulfillment solutions to offer our clients even more support across their supply chains.

By solving more problems for our partners, we accelerated our growth—and that earned us spot #2699 on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list.

Bulk Manufacturing at Cost-Effective Rates

To us, a t-shirt is more than just a t-shirt.

Every garment creates a unique experience for the wearer, and we’re committed to delivering that experience with luxury-level apparel.

We’ve spent years building an extensive network of reliable suppliers, allowing us to provide competitive pricing without compromising on quality.

4PL and 5PL-Level Support

On the fulfillment side, we knew that our clients needed more than just a 3PL warehouse.

That’s why we evolved our solutions to include 4PL and 5PL-level support, providing the most comprehensive supply chain management services in the industry.

Our goal is to offer a seamless experience for both our clients and their customers, eliminating logistical headaches along the way.

5-Star Customer Success Team

At the end of the day, our success lies in the satisfaction of our clients.

That’s why we’ve built a team that goes above and beyond to ensure that every client receives 5-star support throughout their entire journey with us.

We’re Excited for What the Future Holds!

While making the Inc. 5000 list two years in a row is an incredible achievement, we’re not slowing down. Our vision for the future involves continuing to innovate and expand our solutions, providing even more value and support to our clients.

We’ll continue to invest in resources, expand our team, and strengthen our partnerships to help our clients fully optimize their supply chains and maximize their profits.

Thank you to everyone who has been a part of our journey so far, and we look forward to many more years of winning together.
