Medina, Ohio – December 13, 2019 – Fire-Dex announced today its recognition as one of the top 100 fastest growing companies in Northeast Ohio with the 2019 Weatherhead 100 award.

The Weatherhead 100 awards recognize companies based on their percentage of revenue growth over the past five years, celebrating those who set the best example of leadership, growth, and success in Northeast Ohio.

“Over the last five years, we have acquired three businesses, doubled our headquarter space in Medina, Ohio, and created new opportunities for elite associates to join our team,” said Steve Allison, President of Fire-Dex, a family-owned, global manufacturer of personal protective equipment (PPE) for firefighters and first responders.

“While we are consistently growing year over year, we still pride ourselves on maintaining the same values that make Fire-Dex the small family-owned business it has always been,” commented Allison.

Yesterday, Fire-Dex celebrated this achievement during the prestigious annual Weatherhead 100 awards banquet at Hilton Downtown Cleveland. Jamie Marks, HR Manager, Jenny Surovey, Marketing Manager, and Ashton Hall, Marketing Coordinator accepted the award on their behalf.

Weatherhead 100 awards were established in 1988 by the Weatherhead School of Management at Case Western Reserve University to recognize the elite companies headquartered in Northeast Ohio.
