Three Reasons Why Silencer Central Made the Inc. 5000 List Again
August 12, 2025Posted by derrek.sigler
There is an old saying that good things come in threes. That must mean that Silencer Central is doing something right, because the company has made the 2025 Inc. 5000 list - the third time making this list - as one of the nation’s fastest growing companies. That there has been enough continued growth in the company also points to three main factors – the right people, the right products, and the right customers. When those three elements are combined, it is a recipe for success.
“We are exceptionally proud of the three-peat here at Silencer Central,” said Brandon Maddox, the company’s founder and CEO. “It really is not easy to make the Inc. 5000 year after year because, with each year of growth and success, the bar gets set even higher for the next 12-month period. We’ve been fortunate to maintain such strong and steady growth, and I credit the hard work of our team and the company’s customer-first culture for making it possible.”

Building a company that makes the Inc. 5000 list three years running takes the perfect blend of the right ingredients.

customers are key to Inc. 5000 Success
To have a successful company, there needs to be a customer to satisfy. Without that, you’ve got nothing. Silencer Central works hard to build and maintain a broad and loyal customer base. It does this by being a customer-centric company.
Maddox started the company as a way to make it easier and more simple for the average person to buy a suppressor. This is where innovations like to-your-door delivery came from. Silencer Central also spearheaded making the paperwork easier with concierge service designed to make the entire process as pain-free as possible. It also means working with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms (ATF) to help streamline their processes and make approvals faster.
Add in the added value and ease of a completely free trust setup, and the result is a happier customer.
Not to toot our own horns, but making the Inc. 5000 list again is a nod to the staff. This extends from the customer service team that takes customer calls, to the expert sales team that helps with purchases, the warehouse folks who ship orders out and the FFLs operating in all 42 states where suppressors are legal. The goal is customer satisfaction, and these folks are the pros.
“This is a testament to our amazing customers and our outstanding employees,” Maddox said. “This is a recognition based on growth, and it makes me feel very proud to know that we have the right people in the right positions, providing terrific service and products to our amazing customers. We’re in our 20th year and this tells me that we’re doing things right.”
It’s one thing to sell suppressors. It’s another to sell all of the major brands of suppressors, as well as manufacture one of the top-rated brands. Silencer Central is a leader in selling most of the top-rated brands of suppressors on the market, and having them in stock.
The BANISH Suppressors brand continues to release innovative suppressors and have a steady supply to meet demand. And with the current situation of having the This Stamp’s On Us! Promotion where Silencer Central is covering the cost of the federal tax stamp so customers don’t have to wait until January, 2026, it is easy to see that Silencer Central seriously just wants everyone shooting suppressed.
While many suppressors can be used on several different caliber firearms, we have some specific models that can make your shooting more enjoyable. Pick the caliber that you have in mind. If you don’t see your caliber, pick one close to it to see our recommendations.
