Romanian telecommunications company KeepCalling was again included in Inc. 5000’s ranking of the fastest growing private companies in America. This fifth nomination brought the company the Honor Roll status, which is given to companies that recorded a steady increase over a period of at least five years.

With a turnover growth of 219% in the last three years (2011 to 2014), KeepCalling ranked 1,816th in this year’s top 5000, and 35th in the telecom companies ranking. The company registered revenues of USD 47.5 million in 2014, up by 15% compared to 2013.
