Cariloha Named to Annual Utah 100 List of State’s Fastest-Growing Companies
SALT LAKE CITY — Oct. 30, 2019 — Cariloha has been named to MountainWest Capital Network’s (MWCN) 2019 Utah 100, the annual list of the state’s fastest-growing companies.
MWCN’s exclusive awards program brings together investors, entrepreneurs and professional service providers while recognizing Utah’s 100 fastest-growing companies and the economic and business impact they bring to the state.
In addition to recognizing the Utah 100 list, MWCN recognizes the 15 top revenue-growth companies, as well as the Emerging Elite—the state’s top startups just breaking into the scene.
“Being recognized for an eighth time on the MWCN Utah 100 list is truly a team effort and a victory for the entire Bamboo Nation,” said Jeff Pedersen, Cariloha Founder and CEO. “Cariloha’s sustainable luxury brand is growing and expanding across the globe at a record pace with nearly 40% compounded annual growth rates, operating in 65 full, inline stores in 16 countries and 700+ wholesale accounts in various distribution channels worldwide – all made possible by our outstanding employees and fans, our luxuriously soft bamboo products, and our incredible online and in-store shopping experience.”
Utah 100 honorees were chosen based on both their percentage and dollar revenue increase between 2014 and 2018. MWCN’s award event, now marking a quarter century of recognizing the top companies in the state, honored award recipients at the Grand America Hotel in Salt Lake City.
“Utah’s economy has never been stronger, and it’s in large part thanks to the tremendous efforts of these companies and others that make Utah truly the place to be for business,” said Ryan Dent, chairman of the MWCN Utah 100 committee. “We’ve had 25 great years of honoring the companies making Utah great, and we look forward to the next 25 years and beyond.”
