Today, WillowPure technology and Willow Scientific services are available to all licensed cultivators in the U.S. and across the globe.

"Running a business has only gotten harder since the end of the pandemic," says Inc. editor-in-chief Scott Omelianuk. "To make the Inc. 5000 - with the fast growth that requires - is truly an accomplishment. Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that are building our future."
