“Making the Inc. 5000 is always a remarkable achievement, but earning a spot this year speaks volumes about a company’s tenacity and clarity of vision,” says Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. “These businesses have thrived amid rising costs, shifting global dynamics, and constant change. They didn’t just weather the storm, they grew through it, and their stories are a powerful reminder that the entrepreneurial spirit is the engine of the U.S. economy.”
At FloodBreak, our growth is driven by more than manufacturing. We’re transforming the way flood protection is designed. With unprecedented coastal resiliency projects in New York in Brooklyn Bridge–Montgomery Coastal Resilience and Battery Park City, we’re delivering game-changing solutions that set a new standard for the industry.

Our team continues to create new solutions that make ever-larger projects possible with zero impact to the communities that enjoy waterfront access but need protection from increasing storms and coastal events. We thank Inc. Magazine for recognizing us in the Inc. 5000 list.”
