The Philadelphia Business Journal has launched a new initiative in 2017 – entitled Soaring 76 – to identify the fastest-growing companies in Greater Philadelphia, writes Clara Lefton.

“Greater Philadelphia’s economy is increasingly diverse and dynamic,” said PBJ Publisher Sandy Smith. “We consider it a crucial part of our mission to identify and recognize the companies driving our region’s growth.”

To determine the Soaring 76, the PBJ looked at revenue growth over a three-year period from 2014 to 2016, and crunched the revenue numbers from all public companies headquartered in Greater Philadelphia using Securities and Exchange Commission filings.

• Delaware: New Castle and Kent counties

Chester County accounted for 13 of the 76 companies on the list:
