Flexential is no stranger to accolades; the company also secured its second consecutive title as one of Charlotte Magazine’s Top Workplaces for 2024.

It’s worth noting that earlier this year, Flexential also bagged the State of Colorado Top Workplaces 2024 Award, adding another feather to its ever-growing cap.
Strategic Investments to Fuel Further Growth
The company is not resting on its laurels. Flexential recently broke ground on a modern, state-of-the-art data center in Denver, Colorado, emphasizing its commitment to expansion and meeting rising demand for digital infrastructure.

Investment Partnerships Driving Transformation
To further enhance its market presence, Flexential has secured investments from Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners and GI Partners. These investments are expected to propel the company’s growth as they prepare to respond to the increasing demand for digital solutions. The partnership with Morgan Stanley is set to close in the fourth quarter of 2024, pending any regulatory approvals, allowing Flexential to ramp up its active development across existing markets.
Impressive Revenue Growth
Flexential’s performance last year was equally impressive, with a 15% increase in revenue and a substantial 28% gain in pre-tax operating profit. Although the company hasn’t ventured into new markets over the past three years, it has strategically expanded operations in places like Atlanta, Denver, and Hillsboro, Oregon. This focus on strengthening its existing locations is indicative of a smart growth strategy in a competitive landscape.
