South Florida’s IQ Formulations Named to Inc. 5000 Fastest Growing Companies List for Third Consecutive Year

IQFormulations / August 19th 2016 / No Comments

Tamarac, FL (PRWEB) August 17, 2016 – IQ Formulations, a leading nutraceutical company based in South Florida, today was named one of the fastest growing private companies in the United States by Inc. Magazine. In its third year on the prestigious Inc. 5000 list, IQ Formulations earned a spot for 2016 by growing more than 350 percent over the past three years.

The company, headquartered in Tamarac, increased revenues from $3.58 million in 2012 to over $16 million in 2015. That number is even more impressive when you compare it to the $124,000 that the company made in its first year of business only six years ago. Overall, IQ Formulations has grown an astonishing 12,976 percent since its founding in 2010.

This explosive success has also created dozens of high-quality local jobs over the past few years, expanding from just 2 employees in 2010 to nearly 50 today. Last year, IQ Formulations moved to a new state-of-the-art $6 million, 40,000 sq. ft. manufacturing and packaging facility, and it plans to open a second location by the end of the year that will double its square footage and staff.

Jay Cohen, IQ Formulations CEO, is a lifelong South Floridian and deeply committed to keeping operations local and giving back. “I am very grateful to the community, my family and our incredible staff for helping make this growth possible, and I look forward to continued expansion in South Florida,” said Cohen.

IQ Formulations is also well-known for seeking to elevate the standards of the health supplement industry through leading by example. “Seeing our philosophy of doing things the right way resonate with people and lead to such success has been very humbling and inspiring,” Cohen added.

Today’s third consecutive naming to the Inc. 5000 is the latest in a litany of 2016 business honors for the company. Earlier this year, IQ Formulations was named Business of the Year by the South Florida Business Journal and was recognized as a 2016 DREAM BIG Blue Ribbon Small Business Award winner by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Its home city of Tamarac also declared May 25, 2016 as “IQ Formulations Day” with an official proclamation honoring the company’s sound business practices, strong growth, and commitment to increasing local job opportunities and manufacturing.

Inc. Magazine will formally honor IQ Formulations at a national awards ceremony in San Antonio in October.

IQ Formulations Commemorates 10th Anniversary of Jackson Center for Conductive Education through Charitable Donation

Tamarac, FL (PRWEB) July 09, 2015

IQ Formulations, an industry-leading provider of health and nutritional supplements, today announced its donation to the Jackson Center for Conductive Education in honor of the organization’s tenth anniversary. Established in July 2005, the Jackson Center for Conductive Education is dedicated to helping equip motor-challenged children and adults with the best possible physical abilities and confidence to attain the highest quality of independent life.

The Jackson Center uses a conductive education approach, which is a system of learning that focuses on improving the skills of people diagnosed with motor disorders stemming from disease or damage to the central nervous system. Using this method, participants motor skills are developed through repetition, peer interaction, and positive reinforcement – ultimately creating new connections that link thoughts with physical actions.

“The Jackson Center for Conductive Education is comprised of truly skilled doctors and compassionate teachers that have improved the lives of countless individuals, including my beloved nephew Jacob,” said IQ Formulations CEO Jay Cohen. “Supporting the Jackson Center on its tenth anniversary is a meaningful honor for both my family and company. We hope to see Jacob and other children and adults continue to flourish as a result of their caring and innovative therapy and education.”

IQ Formulations supports the Jackson Center’s devotion to fostering a loving environment in which its patients can thrive. For ten years, the Center’s positive atmosphere has inspired children to achieve emotional security, a sense of ambition, and individual creativity. As the Jackson Center commemorates its first decade, IQ Formulations encourages the community to support the Center’s highly effective educational programs and life-changing activities.

In addition to the Jackson Center for Conductive Education, IQ Formulations remains dedicated to providing philanthropic support to other charities that help prevent and treat significant health challenges.

Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, Camp Fiesta, the Wounded Warrior Project, the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and the American Humane Association.

With an outstanding philanthropic track record, top-quality products, state-of-the-art facilities, unparalleled customer service and industry-leading standards, IQ Formulations has established a nationwide reputation for excellence in the health supplement industry.
