Midland-based SwiftWall® Solutions earns top honors in 2020 Aggie 100 awards

SwiftWall® Solutions of Midland was selected along with 100 companies from around the world for the 16th annual Aggie 100. The annual award honors the fastest growing companies owned or operated by former students of Texas A&M University. With a compound annual growth rate of 234%, Swiftwall® Solutions earned the number one ranking. The Aggie 100 is founded and hosted by the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship at Texas A&M University.

Swiftwall® Solutions was founded in 2014 by Joe Asiala, an Engineering graduate of Texas A&M University and Rick Brouwer, a graduate of Central Michigan University. Asiala, an engineer who worked for 30 years at Dow, developed the modular wall system manufactured and sold by Swiftwall® Solutions. The system was designed to provide an aesthetically appealing, fast, and sustainable solution for solid temporary walls and partitions.

“Our team was thrilled to be honored by Texas A&M for our work,” said Asiala. “It has been incredibly exciting to see our product utilized by a variety of companies and seeing the positive feedback. We’re constantly learning and finding new applications, which will continue to serve us well into the future.” Swiftwall® Solutions products have been utilized at construction sites, museums, casinos, airports, universities, trade shows, and a variety of other commercial spaces. The product was most recently used for a retail space buildout at Los Angeles International Airport, one of the company’s largest projects to date. The temporary walls are installed in 15% of the time required to install traditional dry-wall, and more environmentally friendly as it can be disassembled and reconfigured for other uses. The 100 Aggie-owned companies with the highest compound annual revenue growth from 2017 to 2019 were revealed and recognized during a live-stream awards showcase on Friday, November 6, 2020. The awards production is available for viewing at tx.ag/2020Aggie100.

“The Aggie 100 brand represents the most elite group of successful Aggie entrepreneurs, whose endeavors have truly made our world a better place to live,” said Blake Petty, Director of the McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship. “Texas A&M recognizes both their individual efforts and their collective success, in the same way these honorees acknowledge the important role our beloved university played in the development of their character. The McFerrin Center for Entrepreneurship proudly embodies the legacy through which our Aggie 100 honorees can contribute to developing the next great generation of Aggie entrepreneurs.”
