Wilmington, NC, 12 August 2020 – For the first time, Wilmington-headquartered Catalyst Clinical Research appears on the Inc. 5000 list of fastest-growing private companies in America. Catalyst ranked 1235 on the list.
Recognition on the Inc. 5000 list echoes unprecedented recent growth of the organization. Catalyst expanded from one North Carolina-based location to five locations with worldwide reach in the last three years. Over that period, the company added more than 120 jobs, experienced revenue growth of 365%, and is strongly positioned for continued growth with the recent merger with Ce3, Inc., a full-service CRO focused on providing early phase oncology clinical development and headquartered out of Clinton, Connecticut. Much of the company’s upward trajectory can be attributed to its growing customer base, expanding solutions, and continuation of its flexible, high-quality service delivery model.
