SBJ reveals area’s fastest-growing companies

The scores have been tabulated for Springfield Business Journal’s 2025 Dynamic Dozen, recognizing the 12 fastest-growing companies in the Ozarks.

The D12 companies, in alphabetical order, are as follows:
• 27North Inc.

• KCI Construction Co.
• Keep Supply

A countdown of company rankings to No. 1 will be held May 15 during an awards ceremony at The Old Glass Place.

Also at the ceremony, SBJ will honor professionals with individual awards. Determined by the judges, the individual honors are awarded in four categories:
• Top CEO/Managing Partner: Carol McLeod, co-owner of Hold Fast Brewing
• Top Sales/Marketing Professional: Carly Taft, regional marketing senior leader at Forvis Mazars LLP
• Top Human Resources Professional: Karen Carcamo, human resources director at Gold Mechanical Inc.

The Dynamic Dozen fast-growth companies are determined by a numbers-based formula that awards points for both annual revenue and percentage growth in 2022, 2023 and 2024. In their applications, eligible companies reported gross revenue of at least $250,000 in each year, and they must operate headquarters within 50 miles of Springfield or must have provided segmented revenues for the 50-mile radius.

Tiffany Nichols, senior vice president of State Bank of Southwest Missouri, verified the numbers in the D12 applications.

Profiles of the companies and individuals will appear in a publication debuting at the event and distributed in SBJ’s May 19 edition.
