Commercial Lightning Protection Ranked No. 32 on Triad Business Journal's 2026 Fast 50

GREENSBORO, NC, UNITED STATES, September 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Commercial Lightning Protection, LLC (CLP) has been ranked No. 32 on the Triad Business Journal's 2026 Fast 50, the annual ranking of the Piedmont Triad's fastest-growing privately held companies. CLP is a specialty subcontractor that designs, installs, tests and certifies lightning protection and grounding systems for critical infrastructure and complex projects.

"This ranking belongs to our people," said Gary Fly, CEO of CLP. "We've grown one project at a time by earning the trust of the general and electrical contractors we work alongside, and by putting highly trained, technically skilled crews on every site."

CLP's growth tracks rising demand for engineered protection at high-stakes facilities where downtime is not an option. These include data centers, hospitals, airports, manufacturing facilities, and military and governmental installations. In these environments, properly designed lightning protection and grounding systems ensure operational continuity by safeguarding the buildings, equipment, operations, and the people who rely on them.

CLP is UL-listed and certified by the Lightning Protection Institute. Its systems are installed and certified to LPI 175, UL 96A, NFPA 780 and the National Electrical Code. Its installers complete a comprehensive in-house training program covering code compliance, safety, and the access requirements of secure and federal sites.

“Lightning protection is often one component of a much larger construction or facilities strategy, but it is an essential one,” Fly said. “Our team takes seriously the responsibility of designing and installing systems that support resilient, dependable facilities. We will continue investing in our people and capabilities so we can deliver the organized, responsive service our partners expect.”
