NARTP Tenant Recognized as One of America’s Fastest Growing Companies

The National Aviation Research and Technology Park in Egg Harbor Township can now claim to be home to one of the fastest growing privately-held companies in America with the announcement that one of its tenants has been named as number 94 on the Inc. 5000 2020 annual ranking of the country’s most inspiring entrepreneurs with the most proven track records.

The tenant, Thunderbolt Software, was founded in 2016 and has experienced a 3,608 percent growth in just three years under the leadership of Andrew Winkler. It was one of the NARTP’s original occupants when the park opened in 2019.

The park is located adjacent to the Atlantic City International Airport and the FAA William J. Hughes Technical Center, the anchors of a developing aviation innovation hub. Atlantic County has targeted aviation as one of several industries identified in a strategic plan to diversify the regional economy. The Atlantic County Economic Alliance, a private-public, non-profit agency, serves as the lead agency for its implementation.

“Our congratulations to the Thunderbolt Software team,” stated Lauren H. Moore, Jr., ACEA President. “They are a wonderful example of the quality of tenants we are attracting to the park and our aviation innovation hub.”

Thunderbolt Software provides software and systems engineering services, unmanned systems development, and operations and logistics services.

“The ACEA has been a great partner and the NARTP has been critical to our exceptional growth. We are looking forward to continued success,” noted Winkler.
