2022 Dynamic Dozen Editor's Note

Growth might as well be Next Level Solutions’ middle name. It’s back again this year topping Springfield Business Journal’s Dynamic Dozen list of fastest-growing companies in southwest Missouri. And 2022 runner-up Russell Cellular Inc. is also an encore from last year.

Each of the companies represented on this year’s list impresses in its own way. Take CoxHealth – a 116-year-old hospital that grew 13% over the past three years to $5.7 billion in annual revenue. A multibillion-dollar company growing at that rate is worth commending.

And some of the younger companies on the list have rapidly expanded their companies in just a few years. D12 newcomer Artemis Overland Hardware, founded in 2018, grew 442% over the last three years to $1.6 million in annual revenue.

Collectively, these companies represent over $7.4 billion in annual revenue and employ 18,692 people.

We also use this event to honor the people behind the companies with a suite of individual awards. People truly are the heart of every business.

Congratulations to all the honorees. Please enjoy this special publication as we celebrate the 19th annual Dynamic Dozen awards.
