Inc. magazine has named Liquipel to its 2025 Inc. 5000 list of America’s fastest-growing private companies, marking the sixth consecutive year the technology company has earned this recognition. The annual ranking provides a data-driven look at the most successful companies within the entrepreneurial sector, and past honorees include major brands such as Microsoft, Meta, and Under Armour.
Sam Winkler, co-founder and CEO of Liquipel, attributed the achievement to the company’s team and partners, stating that Liquipel is expanding beyond phone protection into power and technology products that combine style and functionality. The company’s product portfolio includes fast-charging solutions and accessories under brands like Powertek, PowerSmart, and Simple, with over $1 billion in retail sales and widespread distribution globally.
The 2025 Inc. 5000 honorees have demonstrated exceptional growth despite economic uncertainty, inflationary pressures, and a fluctuating labor market. Among the top 500 companies, the median three-year revenue growth rate reached 1,552 percent, and these companies collectively added more than 48,678 jobs to the U.S. economy over the past three years.

Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc., noted that earning a spot on the list this year is particularly significant, as it reflects a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision amid rising costs and shifting global dynamics. He emphasized that these businesses have thrived through challenges, underscoring the entrepreneurial spirit as a key driver of the U.S. economy.
Liquipel, founded in 2012, pioneered nano-coating technologies for mobile device protection and has since expanded into a comprehensive range of accessories. The company received an Edison Award, a FierceWireless Fierce 15 Award, and was named by Popular Science as the Grand Award Winner in the Gadgets Category. It has also been included in Entrepreneur Magazine’s “100 Brilliant Companies” list. Under Winkler’s leadership, Liquipel has leveraged celebrity partnerships with figures like Pharrell Williams, Steve Aoki, and Nyjah Huston to maintain a dynamic brand presence.
The Inc. 5000 Conference & Gala will take place October 22–24 in Phoenix, where honorees will be celebrated. The top 500 companies will also be featured in the Fall issue of Inc. magazine.
