Eagle Press, Inc. has been ranked number 4032 on the first-ever Inc. 5,000 list of the fastest-growing private companies in the country. The Inc. 5,000, an extension of Inc. magazine's annual Inc. 500 list, catches many businesses that are too big to grow at the pace required to make the Inc. 500, as well as a host of smaller firms.
Taken as a whole, these companies represent the backbone of the U.S. economy.
"The Inc. 5,000 provides the most comprehensive look ever at the most important part of the economy - the entrepreneurial part," said Inc. 5,000 Project Manager Jim Melloan.
"The expansion of the list has allowed us to tell the stories of larger companies, older companies, and a wealth of companies in industries like Manufacturing and Construction that are underreported in the business media."
The 2007 Inc. 5000 list measures revenue growth from 2003 through 2006.
To qualify, companies had to be U.S.-based and privately held, independent - not subsidiaries or divisions of other companies - as of December 31, 2006, and have had at least $200,000 in revenue in 2003, and $2 million in 2006.

| 03.02.97: Eagle
Press continues it's rapid growth with the construction of its
latest building, a brand new split face block facility that
currently houses most of Eagle's sophisticated computer and
printing equipment. George Weatherly decides to retire and takes
with him over 20 years of hard work and dedication to the company.
Without his help in the beginning, Eagle Press would not be
the strong company it is today. The efficiencies of a bigger
building allows Eagle Press to continue to move forward and
stay on top of all the latest technologies to keep it's customers
on the leading edge. The company also adds related stationery
products to its line with personalized letterhead, envelopes,
memo pads, note cards, and address labels. |

| 10.09.91: Eagle
Press moves from the Quickprint location after George Weatherly
sells his commercial printing business. The company then moves
basically across the street into a 1930's circa brick building
that has approximately 3,800 square feet of space. At that time
the business had attracted Rocky Mount's two largest banks and
one well known bank in Durham, NC. Over the next 5 years Eagle
Press continued to print only business cards but also earned
the reputation of being an innovative printer. Eagle Press was
the first company of it's kind to install Direct-to-Plate technology
and was one of only 6 beta locations for Pitney Bowes' sophisticated
shipping software. Many new companies were attracted to Eagle's
short turnaround and excellent customer service, which allowed
for their next move. |

| 06.13.89: Eagle Press, Inc. begins with humble beginnings in a small room in the back of a small Quickprint printing company owned by George and Lane Weatherly. With one employee and one press, Lane and his Uncle decided that by concentrating on one product the company could be more efficient and productive. That product, printed business cards, became the sole focus of Eagle Press for the next ten years. |
