exIT Technologies Lands at No. 1,247 on the 2026 Inc. 5000

NAPLES, FLA. – August 17, 2026: exIT Technologies, a national IT asset disposition provider founded by Jeff Bittner in 1989, ranks No. 1,247 on the 2026 Inc. 5000, Inc. Magazine’s annual ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America.

The list, released August 11, 2026, ranks companies by percentage revenue growth from 2022 through 2025. To qualify, a company had to be U.S.-based, privately held, independent, and generating at least $100,000 in revenue by 2022, growing to a minimum of $2 million by 2025. This year’s Inc. 5000 honorees collectively generated more than $385 billion in 2025 revenue and added over 627,000 jobs in the past three years.

This appearance marks the second time that exIT has been on this list. Its first appearance was in 2019 at No. 4,031. The company has climbed more than 2,700 spots in six years, a period that included compressed hardware refresh cycles, tighter data destruction compliance requirements under R2v3, and a wave of AI compute buildouts that changed what data centers were retiring and how fast.

What The Inc 5000 Ranking Measures

Inc. 5000 placement is not a subjective award. It is calculated as a single number: the percentage change in a company’s revenue from a 2022 base year to a 2025 measurement year. exIT’s specific three-year growth rate has not been published in this release; Inc. Magazine’s full company profile and the Fall print issue will list it alongside the top 500 honorees.

Why ITAD Growth Looks Different Right Now

Enterprise hardware refresh cycles have shortened across the industry as AI compute demand pulls forward GPU and server upgrades. Faster refresh cycles mean more equipment enters the disposition pipeline sooner, which raises the volume, and the compliance stakes, for any vendor handling data-bearing devices. R2v3, the current version of the R2 Standard for electronics recyclers, tightened requirements around data sanitization verification and chain-of-custody documentation compared to prior versions. Vendors that were already built around per-asset verification, rather than batch-level certificates, were better positioned to absorb that volume without cutting corners on compliance.

exIT Technologies is an R2v3-certified IT asset disposition company based in Naples, Florida, providing data center decommissioning, data destruction and verification, and IT hardware remarketing for enterprises, data centers, and AI compute operators nationwide. Founded in 1989 by Jeff Bittner, exIT remains family-owned and operated.
