Central Security Group Named to the Inc. 5000 Fastest-Growing Private Companies List, with Three-Year Sales Growth of 50 Percent

Central Security Group ("CSG"), a leading provider of security and smart home solutions in the United States, announced it has been named to the elite Inc. 5000's 2016 fastest-growing private companies list, based on its notable 50 percent revenue growth during the past three years, which parallels the introduction of its Alert 360^® service.

As the most prestigious ranking of the nation's fastest-growing private companies, the 35th annual Inc. 5000 represents a unique look at the most successful companies within the American economy's most dynamic segment - its independent small businesses. Companies such as Microsoft, Dell, Domino's Pizza, Pandora (News - Alert), Timberland, LinkedIn, Yelp, Zillow, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees of the Inc. 5000.

"Being named to the Inc. 5000 list is further proof of the Central Security Group team's intense focus in three key areas: Impeccable service in our call centers and field; the success of our Alert 360^® smart home product and service platform; and successful collaboration with our more than 200 authorized CSG dealers," said Richard Ginsburg, Central Security Group president and CEO. "It's extremely gratifying to have our team's excitement for providing our services to an increasing number of home and business owners recognized. We're also incredibly grateful for our customers' trust in our popular Alert 360^® product and service offering, which accelerated our growth."

Based on revenue, Central Security Group also recently was named as a Top 10 national security provider in its industry's SDM 100 Report. The company ranked No. 9 in this year's SDM 100, moving up from its No. 13 position last year.

"The Inc. 5000 list stands out where it really counts," says Inc. President and Editor-In-Chief Eric Schurenberg. "It honors real achievement by a founder or a team of them. No one makes the Inc. 5000 without building something great - usually from scratch. That's one of the hardest things to do in business, as every company founder knows. But without it, free enterprise fails."

CSG provides professional consulting and installation of security and automation systems for home and business owners in 17 states, through 12 branch offices. These local branches are backed by the company's national support centers, including a redundant technical support and customer service center in Dallas. The company also operates an extensive Authorized Dealer Program. Its core services include its Alert 360^® interactive and wireless security, home automation, remote video monitoring, energy management solutions, 24/7 alarm monitoring, plus remote control and access using the company's free Alert 360^® mobile app.

The 2016 Inc. 5000, unveiled online at Inc.com and with the top 500 companies featured in the September issue of Inc., is the most competitive crop in the list's history. The average company on the list achieved a mind-boggling three-year growth of 433%. The Inc. 5000's aggregate revenue is $200 billion, and the companies on the list collectively generated 640,000 jobs over the past three years, or about eight percent of all jobs created in the entire economy during that period. Complete results of the Inc. 5000, including company profiles and an interactive database that can be sorted by industry, region, and other criteria, can be found at www.inc.com/inc5000.
