ABSI Aerospace & Defense Named to 2026 Inc. 5000 Regional List for Sustained Growth

California, MD | 

Inc., the leading media brand and playbook for the entrepreneurs and business
leaders shaping our future, today revealed that ABSI Aerospace & Defense
(ABSI) has been ranked No. 115 on its sixth annual Inc. Regionals: Mid-Atlantic list – the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing privately held
companies in the Mid-Atlantic. The region includes Delaware, Maryland, the
District of Columbia, Virginia, West Virginia, and North Carolina.

Now in its tenth year of operations, ABSI’s inclusion on the 2026
regional list reflects sustained momentum well beyond the typical startup
growth phase. While many companies experience a natural slowdown as they
mature, ABSI has continued to expand through consistent execution, long-term
customer trust, and a mission-first culture rooted in accountability and
results.

ABSI has earned Inc. recognition multiple times over the course of its
history, including appearances on both national and regional lists. The 2026
regional distinction reinforces a broader pattern of performance, highlighting
the company’s ability to grow steadily within one of the nation’s most
competitive defense and aerospace markets.

“Long-term growth requires discipline, focus, and people who take
ownership of the mission,” said Chris Sacco, Chief Executive Officer of ABSI
Aerospace & Defense. “This recognition reflects the professionalism of our
team and the trust our customers place in us year after year. We remain
committed to growing deliberately—without losing the agility, responsiveness,
and values that define who we are.”

ABSI’s continued growth has been driven by a clear strategic focus:
delivering practical, field-proven capabilities while investing in a workforce
built around experience, credibility, and mission alignment. As a veteran-led
organization, ABSI emphasizes execution over scale for its own sake, ensuring
growth reinforces reliability and customer outcomes.

An extension of the national Inc. 5000 list, the
Regionals list offers a data-driven look at the independent small businesses
driving growth across the Mid-Atlantic economy. Companies on this year’s list
demonstrate exceptional revenue expansion, resilience, and job creation during
a challenging economic period. For ABSI, the 2026
recognition serves as a confirmation of durability—reinforcing the company’s
position as a stable, trusted partner in support of national security
priorities.
