Garrison Flood Control is proud to announce that it has been named to the 2026 Inc. 5000, ranking No. 63 overall in the United States, No. 2 among manufacturing companies nationwide, and No. 8 among companies in Florida.
The recognition represents an important milestone for Garrison and reflects the growth of a company focused on one clear mission: helping businesses, municipalities, government agencies, homeowners and other organizations better prepare for the increasing threat of flooding.
The Inc. 5000 annually recognizes some of the fastest-growing privately held companies in the United States. For Garrison Flood Control, ranking among the top 100 companies in the country is more than a measure of business growth. It represents the efforts of a team working every day to make engineered and tested flood protection more accessible to properties and communities facing increasingly complex flood risks.
Garrison Flood Control makes the Inc. 5000 list of fastest growing companies in the United States.
What Is Garrison Flood Control’s 2026 Inc. 5000 Ranking?
Garrison Flood Control ranked:
No. 63 among all companies in the United States
No. 2 among manufacturing companies in the United States
No. 8 among companies in Florida
Earning a place near the top of the Inc. 5000 represents significant business growth, but the achievement also tells a larger story about Garrison Flood Control and its line of flood barrier and water diversion systems.
As the company has grown into a global leader in flood barriers, so has its ability to help homeowners, commercial facilities, municipalities, government agencies, infrastructure operators, emergency management teams, and other organizations develop more proactive approaches to flood mitigation.
From manufacturing innovative flood barriers to completing complex engineered installations throughout Florida and nationwide, Garrison's growth is a product of a team devoted to protecting people’s valuable properties.
Growth Driven by a Mission to Protect Against Flooding
Flood protection is rarely a one-size-fits-all challenge.
A homeowner may need to protect a garage, front door, sliding door, or waterfront perimeter. A commercial facility may be concerned about loading docks, parking garages, equipment rooms, entrances, or critical operational areas. Municipalities and public agencies may need flood protection around infrastructure, emergency facilities, utilities, roadways, transit systems or entire waterfronts.
That variety of needs has helped shape Garrison Flood Control's approach to flood defense.
Rather than relying on a single type of flood barrier, Garrison has continued to expand its portfolio of flood mitigation solutions to address different types of properties, flood risks, deployment requirements, and protection strategies. Its ever expanding product line is the result of years of research and development, resulting in industry leading products that have been storm tested and proven in real world scenarios.
The company has completed over 5000 of flood mitigation projects nationwide and works with customers ranging from individual homeowners to large commercial, municipal, government, and infrastructure organizations. With established nationwide contracts with co-op purchasing groups such as Sourcewell and TIPS and government contracts with counties such as Pinellas County and the Government of Canada, municipalities can purchase Garrison flood barriers off existing contracts.
For Garrison, continued growth means creating the capacity to help even more properties become better prepared before flooding occurs.
Quote From President and CEO Arnon Rosan
“Being ranked on the Inc. 5000 is an incredible recognition of what our entire team has built together. But what makes this achievement especially meaningful is what that growth represents. Every project gives us another opportunity to help a business, municipality, homeowner or organization become better prepared for flooding. I’m extremely proud of our team, our continued product innovation, and the trust our customers place in Garrison to help protect the things that matter to them.”
Arnon Rosan, President and CEO, Garrison Flood Control
Flood Protection Solutions Designed for Different Properties and Risks
A major part of Garrison Flood Control's continued growth has been the expansion of its flood protection portfolio.
Garrison conducts extensive research, engineering and water tank testing on its products, providing important data on leakage rates, hydrostatic pressure capabilities and debris impact resistance. New products undergo rigorous review and ensure compliance with FEMA technical bulletin requirements and local building codes.
Different properties require different approaches. Some customers need a permanently installed system that can be quickly deployed before a storm. Others need temporary perimeter protection that can be stored until flooding threatens. Larger commercial, municipal, and infrastructure properties may require protection across much greater distances such as river fronts (for riverine flooding) or waterfronts (for king tides and storm surges).
Garrison offers product solutions designed around those different needs.
Hammerhead® Aluminum Flood Logs
The Hammerhead Aluminum Flood Log system provides durable flood protection for residential, commercial, and infrastructure openings such as a power plants and water lifting stations.
The Hammerhead system can be configured to protect areas such as doorways, garages, loading docks, window wells, ramps, stairwells, and passageways. Aluminum flood planks are positioned between U-Channel support posts and stacked to create the required protection height.
When flooding is not a threat, the flood logs can be removed and stored while the mounting components remain ready for future deployment.
Hammerhead provides a strong example of Garrison's approach to long-term flood preparedness: professionally installed, industry leading, highly engineered, and tested protection that remains ready to deploy when severe weather approaches.
Hammerhead is manufactured in Pompano Beach Florida and is shipped nationwide and globally.
MAKO® Inflatable Flood Barrier
The MAKO Inflatable Flood Barrier provides another approach to protecting vulnerable property openings.
Designed for rapid deployment, MAKO barriers can be positioned within doorways, garages, windows, hallways, and other openings where temporary flood protection is needed.
The system inflates to create a pressure-fit barrier inside an existing opening, allowing properties to obtain flood protection without modifying their structure or adding visible supports used in traditional flood walls. This is particularly appealing for high-value homes or historic properties, where aesthetics are important.
After the flood threat has passed, MAKO can be deflated and stored for future use.
YellowFIN™ Flood Panels
The YellowFIN Flood Panel System is a removable direct-mount flood protection barrier for openings where high performance and property aesthetics are both important considerations.
YellowFIN panels are composite panels that incorporate the latest boat construction technology to form a lightweight yet durable flood barrier. Honeycomb cores are fused within fiberglass layers and are framed by aluminum extrusions, creating an extremely durable flood panel capable of resisting high levels of hydrostatic and hydrodynamic pressure.
Manufactured at Garrison's facility in Pompano Beach, Florida, YellowFIN flood panels are designed to be installed when flooding threatens a property and removed when protection is no longer required. The only visible sign of the flood barrier system are the mounting holes that remain in the structure when the panels are removed, allowing a building to maintain its architectural beauty while remaining protected from flooding when needed.
YellowFIN also demonstrates the role Garrison's manufacturing capabilities play in the company's growth. Rather than simply distributing flood protection products, Garrison continues to manufacture and internally develop systems designed around the real-world challenges its customers face.
BlueFIN™ Perimeter Flood Barrier
For properties and facilities that require broader flood protection, the BlueFIN Perimeter Flood Barrier provides a modular flood wall system that can be configured around entire structures and rather than being limited to individual openings.
BlueFIN uses interconnecting L-shaped flood panels to create a continuous flood defense perimeter. The L-shaped design allows the weight of the water to ballast the system, enhancing the flood barriers capabilities as water levels rise. Manufactured using the same honeycomb core with a fiberglass shell and aluminum extruded frame, the BlueFIN is able to handle the hydrostatic, hydrodynamic and debris impact forces expected of a system that can reach 8ft in protection height.
The BlueFIN system can be used to help protect commercial properties, utilities, equipment, critical rooms, infrastructure, lifting stations, power plants, sewage plants, water plants and other vulnerable areas. Depending on the application, BlueFIN can also be configured to help redirect or divert floodwater away from locations that need protection, creating a cofferdam for construction and repair work.
BlueFIN gives Garrison’s customers another tool for addressing these larger commercial, municipal, utility, and infrastructure applications.
Mayim® Flood Barrier
The Mayim Flood Barrier represents another side of Garrison's approach to flood preparedness: portable protection that can be deployed when severe weather and rising water threaten a property.
Mayim flood barriers uses an interlocking L-shaped panel design that allows individual sections to connect into a continuous temporary flood barrier. The L-shape allows the water itself to ballast the panels and enhance the seal.
The system can be configured to divert water from around homes, buildings, entrances, commercial properties, equipment, and other areas where temporary flood protection or water diversion is needed.
Because Mayim does not require the same permanent infrastructure as an affix flood panel, it can be stored between flood events and deployed when conditions require protection.
For homeowners, businesses, municipalities, emergency response teams, and other organizations seeking reusable temporary flood mitigation, Mayim provides a flexible water diversion option that can become part of a broader flood preparedness plan.
More Than Products: The Team Behind Flood Protection in Florida
Flood protection products are only one part of effective flood mitigation.
Proper planning, measurements, installation, sealing, anchoring, system configuration, engineering and testing can all play an important role in preparing a property to resist the effects of flooding.
This is where Garrison Flood Control's professional sales and installation teams have become an increasingly important part of the company's work. We offer in person site visits, video consultations, unique installation capabilities, and engineering review as needed to ensure a successful flood protection system.
Garrison's installation crews work directly in the field to help prepare residential, commercial, municipal, and other properties for flooding. Depending on the project, that work can include site surveys, measurements, layout, alignment, anchoring, sealing, post mounting, concrete footers, wall reinforcement and testing.
Florida properties and buildings around the world regularly face threats from hurricanes, tropical storms, storm surge, extreme rainfall, flash flooding, and drainage challenges. Garrison's installation team works directly within these environments, helping property owners and organizations prepare before severe weather arrives.
The goal is not simply to deliver a flood barrier. It is to help ensure the flood protection system is properly integrated into the property and ready for deployment when needed.
When considering flood barriers, working with a company that has its own manufacturing and testing facilities, is critical. Knowing that Garrison ranks No. 63 in the USA, No. 2 in manufacturing nationwide, and No. 8 among Florida companies on the 2026 Inc. 5000, should give any facility manager, homeowner or government official the confidence that they are working with a proven, professional company that can be trusted to protect essential assets.
