Stamps.com® (Nasdaq:STMP), the intelligent alternative to a postage meter, today announced that FORTUNE Small Business magazine ranked Stamps.com 50th on its annual FSB 100 list of the fastest-growing small public companies.
“It is a tremendous honor to be included among the FORTUNE Small Business 100 fastest-growing small public companies,” said Stamps.com president and CEO Ken McBride. “Our growth over the past several years reflects our employees’ dedication and commitment to delivering creative and innovative new products and great service to our customers.”
