JACKSONVILLE, Fla. — September 3, 2026 —AVI has been named to the Jacksonville Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50, marking the company’s second consecutive year among Northeast Florida’s fastest-growing privately held companies. AVI ranked No. 10 on this year’s list, reporting 49.59% revenue growth.
For more than 25 years, the Jacksonville Business Journal’s Fast 50 has recognized companies demonstrating significant growth over a three-year period. The annual list highlights businesses that continue to expand while navigating changing markets, rising costs, workforce challenges, and an increasingly competitive business environment.
Nearly seven decades after its founding, AVI continues to demonstrate that longevity and growth can go hand in hand. The company’s continued momentum reflects its ability to evolve with the industry, invest in its people and operations, and respond to the changing needs of its customers, all while remaining focused on the relationships and service that have shaped AVI for generations.
“Being recognized for a second consecutive year is something we are incredibly proud of,” said Ike Sherlock, President and CEO of AVI. “Growth like this doesn’t happen because of one person or one initiative. It is the result of a team that continues to show up, find better ways to serve our customers, and believe in where we are headed as a company. To be recognized alongside so many outstanding businesses in Northeast Florida makes this honor even more meaningful.”
The recognition comes during a period of continued growth and investment for AVI as the company strengthens its capabilities and positions itself for the future. While much has changed since AVI was founded in 1957, its commitment to serving its customers, supporting its employees, and contributing to the Northeast Florida business community remains at the center of the organization.
AVI was recognized alongside fellow Fast 50 honorees at the Jacksonville Business Journal’s 2026 Fast 50 Awards celebration in August.
