Westerville Businesses Named to 'Fastest-Growing' List

Westerville-based businesses Right Way Medical LLC and Asset Strategies Group (ASG) are celebrating making Columbus Business First's list of fastest-growing private companies in central Ohio.

Right Way Medical, LLC

Right Way Medical, LLC (835 Green Crest Dr.), is a healthcare supply company specializing in the medical device and distribution sector. Josh Prati founded Right Way Medical in 2014 and currently serves as company president.

“We are a people-first organization and that is the way it has been built,” said Prati. “That’s the way it is going to be as long as I am CEO of this company.

“When people look at what we do and the Fast 50 recognition, that resonates with the younger talent coming out of the colleges in central Ohio. The award helps tell your story as you’re competing with Top 100 companies for that young talent."

Prati has led Rightway Medical into expansion beyond the central Ohio region, branching out satellite operations into Illinois, Texas, Georgia and Arizona. All four locations carry characteristics similar to its Westerville home base.

“Westerville is a central spot and it makes doing business easier. The location, the economical standpoint, room to grow and the friendly people to work within the city,” said Prati. “They (the national locations) are outside the main hub of a city. The locations that have the capability for mass distribution and possess the infrastructure that allows for that access. It really comes down to flexibility, location, cost and accessibility for our employees."

Asset Strategies Group

Asset Strategies Group also received mention on the latest Fast 50 list, its ninth recognition in a row and 12th overall. ASG is a retail and commercial real estate consulting firm, located at 501 W. Schrock Rd., Suite 201. According to President and CEO Carrie Barclay, ASG strives to cultivate an ecosystem of the world’s best retail real estate services, design and content.

“Columbus is just a fantastic growing market,” said Barclay. “It’s harder to make the list year-after-year. They’re (Columbus Business First) looking at your trends and averages over a period of time. So our consistency in growth is a reminder we are doing the right thing.”

ASG works with more than 6,400 partners across the globe and Barclay attributes the Westerville base as an asset to their year-over-year success.

“It is the sweet spot,” said Barclay, who started with the company as just one of six employees and now has a staff of more than 80. “We work with companies all over the country, all over the world. Westerville has very quick access via highway and airways.”

“Another huge factor is the community,” continued Barclay. “Westerville has a great vibe. The work that has been done by the city to really own its downtown just adds more flavor and benefits the community as a whole.”

Columbus Business First’s 2024 Fast 50 ranks revenue growth of for-profit, privately held businesses in the region with at least $1 million in annual revenue in the past three years. Learn more from Columbus Business First at bizjournals.com.
