Liberty Pumps, Inc., has been named among the nation's fastest-growing, privately held companies for the fourth-straight year by "Inc. Magazine."
The manufacturing firm is located at 7000 Appletree Ave. in Bergen.
The publication released its "5,000 list" earlier this month. Businesses are rated based on total sales growth over the last three calendar years.
Liberty Pumps grew 23 percent during that time, to an annual revenue of $33 million, according to the magazine.
The company's management is modest about its performance.
Says its President Charlie Cook:
"Our formula for success is not exotic or complicated, but its execution is critical and strenuous. There are four elements to the formula: creation of products with unique, innovative features that are not available from competitors; maintaining a level of responsiveness and customer service that is unmatched in our industry; benchmark-level sales and marketing presence in terms of attention to customers and quality of materials for advertising and display; and great, dedicated people throughout the organization who are committed to excel in these elements."
He also noted that the formula is reflected in an annual strategic plan, which is created by a consensus of all department managers after a thorough review of a considerable amount of data.
"It is extremely gratifying to observe people at every level in every department so committed to giving customers the best products, service and support possible," said Cook in a news release.
