Fort Myers family lands two businesses on Inc. 5000 list for second year

FORT MYERS, Fla. - Aug. 13, 2024 - PRLog -- A pair of businesses owned by the Daubmann family, MY Shower Door and D3 Glass, are repeat honorees on the 2024 Inc. 5000 list that celebrates the country's fastest-growing, privately held companies.

It's the eighth time in 10 years that MY Shower Door has made the list, and the second consecutive honor for D3 Glass.

"Inc. 5000 spotlights some of the nation's biggest and best-known brands, so it's difficult for family-owned businesses to compete for a spot," said Bill Daubmann, president of MY Shower Door and D3 Glass. "To have two companies make the list in back-to-back years is an incredible feat because you need to sustain high levels of growth year after year."

Both companies are headquartered in Fort Myers and service Southwest Florida and beyond. Bill Daubmann and his wife, Donna, along with their sons, Keith and Doug, help lead company operations with a team of non-family executives, managers and employees. Combined, the businesses employ 167 individuals across all locations.

Locally, D3 Glass was the 10th fastest-growing company based in Southwest Florida, according to Inc., while MY Shower Door was the 11th fastest-growing business in the region. The two companies rank No. 383 and 326, respectively, in Florida.

"Whether you're a homeowner, homebuilder or commercial contractor, MY Shower Door provides stunning shower solutions and exceptional customer service," Daubmann said. "Customers have trusted us for two decades, and our success proves that a family-owned business can compete against online retailers and national companies. When you do right by your team and your customers, they do right by you."

Mike Hofman, editor-in-chief of Inc. Business Media, described Inc. 5000's history as a "very exclusive and extraordinary list of honorees," noting the list of former winners includes Microsoft, Patagonia, Under Armour, Chobani and Facebook/Meta.

"Making this unique list takes tremendous dedication, skill and innovative thinking," Hofman said.

Inc. 5000 honorees will be recognized during a conference and gala held Oct. 16-18 in Palm Desert, California.
