28 NJ Companies Make Inc. 2026 Fastest-Growing List

Twenty-eight New Jersey companies earned spots on Inc. magazine’s 2026 Regionals list, which ranks the fastest-growing privately held businesses across the country by region. The Northeast edition covers companies headquartered in nine states, and Jersey’s contingent spans nearly every corner of the state, from Hamburg in the northwest to Mickleton in the southwest to Hoboken on the Hudson.

Companies are ranked by two-year revenue growth from 2022 to 2024. Across the full Northeast ranking, honorees added 6,779 jobs and $2.3 billion to the regional economy, a measure that reflects not just smart business plans but real hiring.

Freehold-based Oculus Insights grabbed the highest New Jersey ranking, coming in fourth overall with 960% growth in financial services. That is not a misprint. The company outpaced nearly every other business in a nine-state region. SENA Health, a healthcare firm out of Mickleton in Gloucester County, ranked 12th with 417% growth. Jersey City’s PortPro Technologies, a software company serving the port and logistics sector, ranked 20th with 272% growth, a result that tracks with the enormous investment flowing into supply chain technology since the pandemic disrupted global shipping.

Healthcare dominated the New Jersey contingent, which mirrors national trends. Hamilton’s Mariam Maniya Internal Medicine PC posted 218% growth, ranking 24th. Advantage Behavioral Health Network in Marlton grew 111%. Hazlet-based Empower U. Services Corp. grew 34%. Morristown’s Onviv, ranking 143rd, rounded out the healthcare entries with 18% growth.

That cluster of healthcare companies reflects something structural about New Jersey’s economy. The state has one of the largest concentrations of hospitals, specialty practices, and home health operations in the country. Small and mid-sized healthcare practices that managed to scale through the post-COVID billing and staffing chaos apparently came out the other side with real momentum.

The list also shows strength in legal services, manufacturing, and IT. Morristown law firm Weinstein and Klein PC grew 82% over the two years measured. Christine L. Matus, a solo or small-firm legal practice in Red Bank, grew 55%. On the manufacturing side, Regent Cabinets Holdings in Lakewood grew 77% and Cranbury-based Integris grew 62%. Those numbers push back a little on the narrative that manufacturing has no future in the Northeast.

Geographic diversity stands out when you map the list. Yes, the familiar suburban corridors show up. Holmdel has two entries, Summit Facility Solutions and Slice Merchant Services. Iselin claims two as well, Lightbridge Academy and PRIAMBA SOFT. But the list also includes Hamburg, Milford, and Haddon Heights, towns that don’t usually generate this kind of business news coverage. That matters. Growth is not concentrated exclusively in the transit corridors or the pharma belt.

A few entries reflect how consumer behavior has shifted. Tire Agent Corp, based in Hoboken, sells tires through an online marketplace model and grew 85%. Clio Snacks in Piscataway, a food and beverage company, grew 61%. Hoboken and Piscataway are not obvious addresses for breakout consumer brands, which makes both results more interesting.

The business services category, sometimes shorthand for companies doing the unglamorous operational work that larger firms need, produced two entries. Envirofoam in Haddon Heights grew 99%. Clark Services Group in Haddonfield grew 94%. Both are in South Jersey, and both are expanding fast enough to rank in the top 60 of the Northeast list.

Inc.’s methodology is straightforward. Submit your revenue figures, verify the math, and let the growth rate speak for itself. There’s no jury deliberating over brand prestige or executive charisma. The companies on this list simply grew faster than their peers over a defined two-year window.

For New Jersey, 28 entries in a nine-state competition suggests the state’s economy has more range than the usual pharma-and-finance story gives it credit for. Small manufacturers, healthcare operators, software companies, and legal practices from Milford to Jersey City are growing fast enough to rank regionally. That’s a harder story to tell than a single blockbuster deal, but it’s probably a more accurate picture of where jobs actually come from.
