Houston Vegetation Management Company Servicing Utilities Across the U.S. Ranks Among America's Fastest-Growing Private Companies and Houston's Most Admired CEOs List

HOUSTON, Aug. 22, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Atlas Field Services, a Houston vegetation management company servicing the world's largest utilities is on the 2022 Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing private companies. With a three-year growth reported at 269%, this past week Inc. revealed Atlas Field Services is ranked in the top half of the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy's most dynamic segment—its independent businesses. Facebook, Chobani, Under Armour, Microsoft, Patagonia, and many other well-known names gained their first national exposure as honorees on the Inc. 5000. CEO Craig Taylor is also celebrated this month by the Houston Business Journal as one of the city's Most Admired CEOs. Taylor is the minority and veteran CEO and founder of Atlas Field Services and the operating companies under the Iapetus Holdings brand.

According to Taylor, "Ranking on Inc.'s list of fastest-growing companies and the Most Admired CEO recognition fills me with gratitude. We acknowledge that no company can accomplish what ours has without a great team. After everything the world has been through these past few years, we've learned a thing or two about resilience. Heading into an economic recession, our focus is keener on building our teams with top talent, investing in our people and providing them with the proper training and tools for continued advancement. Career growth and meeting employees' need for motivating, meaningful work are keys to help see a company through harder times. Also, we strive to be very strategic about the value we're supplying clients. We recognize businesses all over the U.S. have an urgent demand for the energy reliability and environmental solutions Atlas provides. We plan to stay agile and efficient to respond to those demands."

Parent Iapetus Holdings, a company providing energy sustainability, efficiency, reliability, and safety services, also landed on the list at number 38 in Houston and 2,479 nationwide. This month, Iapetus landed on the Houston Business Journal's 2022 Fast 100 Awards, recognizing Houston-area private companies with the fastest revenue growth over a two-year period. The final ranking of the Fast 100 List will be revealed at an in-person awards luncheon on Thursday, Sept. 22.
