August 8, 2022 - Inc. revealed that DRAGON GLASSWARE® is No. 715 on its annual Inc. 5000 list, the most prestigious ranking of the fastest-growing private companies in America. The list represents a one-of-a-kind look at the most successful companies within the economy’s most dynamic segment—its independent businesses.

The companies on the 2022 Inc. 5000 have not only been successful, but have also demonstrated resilience amid supply chain woes, labor shortages, and the ongoing impact of Covid-19. “The accomplishment of building one of the fastest-growing companies in the U.S., in light of recent economic roadblocks, cannot be overstated,” says Scott Omelianuk, editor-in-chief of Inc. “Inc. is thrilled to honor the companies that have established themselves through innovation, hard work, and rising to the challenges of today.”

"I started designing products from what I was learning in the community to bring out the flavors and the look of different beverages." - Matt Rollens, Founder & CEO. "There are all kinds of licensed products in apparel and footwear, beauty, and makeup," Rollens says, "but no one's really doing barware."

Dragon Glassware’s largest and most well-known collaboration so far, began fall of 2021 with the launch of the BARBIE™ X DRAGON GLASSWARE® collection. With the success of this first launch and the rise of the Barbiecore trend, a second collection is set to be released in Fall 2022. The new collection is poised to celebrate the Barbie Dreamhouse 60th Anniversary and will continue combining signature Dragon Glassware designs with iconic Barbie™ color, prints, and style.
