Mesh Systems named to Inc. 5000 list for the sixth time, fourth consecutive year. Four consecutive years on the Inc. 5000 reflect Mesh Systems' continued growth and more than two decades of helping manufacturers turn connected products into measurable business value. CARMEL, Ind. (August 11, 2026) - Mesh Systems has once again been named to the Inc. 5000 list of America's fastest-growing private companies. This marks Mesh's sixth appearance overall and fourth consecutive year on the list. Making the Inc. 5000 once is an accomplishment. Earning a place on the list year after year says something more. For Mesh, sustained growth comes from helping manufacturers make their connected products more valuable to the business. That means building the foundation that gets machine data flowing reliably, then putting that data to work through intelligence that turns signals into decisions, savings, revenue, and action. That is the work Mesh has been doing for more than 20 years. "Being named to the Inc. 5000 for the sixth time is something we're proud of, but the recognition is really a reflection of the value our team creates for customers," said Andrew Cohoat, President & CEO of Mesh Systems. "Our customers bring us business problems that matter. We bring the engineering depth, industry knowledge, and persistence to solve them. When our customers grow, save money, move faster, or create new value from their products, that is what success looks like for us." Mesh was building connected products before IoT was a category. Over more than two decades, that experience has created a deep bench of engineers, architects, AI and IoT specialists, and domain experts who understand not only how connected-product technology works, but how manufacturers actually use it to run their businesses. Today, Mesh works across industrial equipment, HVAC and building technology, food and beverage equipment, commercial fleets, energy and water, and consumer packaged goods. Across those industries, the goal is the same: build connected-product infrastructure that does more than work technically. It should become a value-driving asset for the business. That approach spans the full connected-product journey. Mesh engineers the product, builds the platform it runs on, deploys the intelligence that puts its data to work, and supports it long after launch. The result is one partner from connected product to business outcome. "Our place on this list belongs to the MeshMates who do the work, the partners who work alongside us, and the customers who continue to trust us with important problems," Cohoat added. "Your business is our business. That mindset has guided Mesh for more than 20 years, and it will continue to shape where we go next." The Inc. 5000 is compiled annually by Inc. and recognizes the fastest-growing private companies in America. Mesh Systems' fourth consecutive appearance and sixth overall continue a track record built on connected-product expertise, long-term customer partnerships, and measurable business outcomes. About Mesh Systems Mesh Systems helps manufacturers build the foundation and intelligence required to turn connected product data into action. The company engineers the connected-product and data infrastructure manufacturers run on, and builds the AI that turns that data into automated decisions, accelerated outcomes, and measurable results. Backed by 20 years of connected-product expertise, Mesh turns passive connected products into competitive advantage for manufacturers across industrial equipment, HVAC, food and beverage, commercial fleets, energy and water, and consumer packaged goods.

Exein and Mesh Systems partner to strengthen embedded cybersecurity for US connected device manufacturers. Exein and Mesh Systems have formed a strategic partnership to embed firmware-level cybersecurity directly into connected devices for US manufacturers. CARMEL, IN, UNITED STATES, january 29, 2026 / einpresswire.com / - Exein and Mesh Systems partner to strengthen embedded cybersecurity for US connected device manufacturers. Exein's security tools to be integrated into Mesh Systems' device development and managed services programs Exein secures connected devices at the firmware level, helping manufacturers protect critical systems and meet rising global cybersecurity and regulatory requirements Exein, the global leader in embedded cybersecurity for connected devices, today announced a strategic partnership with Mesh Systems, a US-based provider of edge/IoT product development and managed services. Together, the companies will help manufacturers strengthen security at the source, starting with firmware security assurance before devices ship, while supporting readiness for EU cybersecurity regulations, including the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA) and Radio Equipment Directive (RED), as well as the US Cyber Trust Mark. Mesh Systems supports companies building or connecting devices across the full product lifecycle - from early design and development through deployment and ongoing management. Under the partnership, Mesh will offer Exein's embedded cybersecurity capabilities as part of its customer engagements, providing manufacturers with enhanced security assurance for firmware and connected device software, as well as the operational support required to translate regulatory obligations into practical compliance programs. Connected-device manufacturers are facing growing pressure to demonstrate stronger product security, not only from escalating threats - the average cost of a data breach in the US has surged 9% to more than $10 million - but increasingly from regulatory requirements. Many companies with international operations are now regularly seeking guidance on EU cybersecurity obligations, with CRA and RED compliance becoming a near-term commercial priority for all those that sell into European markets. Together, Exein and Mesh will offer an end-to-end approach spanning pre-deployment security assurance and in-field resilience, helping manufacturers move beyond point products focused only on code analysis or network-level visibility, toward runtime edge protection that remains effective even when devices are offline. The partnership comes as sensitive workloads - including AI inference and model execution - increasingly move from protected cloud environments to edge devices, expanding the attack surface and making on-device security more critical. The US IoT security market size was valued at $34.8 billion in 2024 and is predicted to reach $296 billion by 2033. With connected devices now underpinning everything from industrial environments to consumer products, manufacturers are seeking scalable ways to reduce risk without slowing time to market. The rate of attacks on critical infrastructure sectors - such as energy and transportation, as well as healthcare - also continues to rise. Meanwhile, North American targets now represent 24% of all global cyber attacks, with the US being the subject in 86% of those incidents. FBI statistics show that losses for businesses from cyber attacks in the US in 2024 were at least $2.7 billion. Chris Lanier, Managing Director, Americas, Exein, said: "Connected devices are now the fastest-growing attack surface in the world - and the center of gravity is shifting toward the edge, including on-device AI. This partnership brings together Exein's embedded cybersecurity technology and Mesh Systems' deep expertise in building and managing connected products. Together, we'll help US manufacturers ship stronger, more resilient devices, support the practical work required to meet EU cybersecurity compliance expectations and build a consistent security baseline for manufacturers operating across both European and US markets." Andrew Cohoat, President & CEO, Mesh Systems, said: "More and more US manufacturers are being asked to prove their connected products are secure - especially when they sell into Europe. By partnering with Exein, we can give customers stronger firmware security assurance before devices ship, and support the operational processes and documentation needed to meet requirements like the Cyber Resilience Act and the Radio Equipment Directive."
