Wabash National Earns Spot in Top 25 of Best Manufacturers Ranking
13 July 2016 - 6:25AM
Wabash National Corporation (NYSE:WNC) was again named a “50 Best
U.S. Manufacturer” by IndustryWeek magazine in its July/August 2016
issue, making the second largest jump of any company on the list
from #46 to #24. This is the fourth time Wabash National has been
honored as an IW U.S. 50, having also been recognized on the list
in 2006, 2013 and 2015.
“When being compared to the largest and best performing publicly
traded manufacturers in the United States, four consecutive record
years doesn’t guarantee a spot on IndustryWeek’s ranking,” said
Dick Giromini, president and chief executive officer. “We’ve made a
significant transformation from primarily a van trailer producer to
a diversified industrial manufacturer, which continues to be a key
driver of our growth and performance.”
Giromini continued, “We’re proud and honored to receive this
recognition and I give tremendous credit to our associates for
their commitment to safety, innovation and continuous improvement;
to our customers for their trust in us as together we strive to
drive change in our industry; and to our suppliers for their
collaboration and continued pursuit of excellence.”
The IndustryWeek 50 Best U.S. Manufacturers is the magazine’s
annual ranking of America’s top-performing public manufacturers. To
select the top 50 manufacturing companies, IndustryWeek evaluated
members of its IW U.S. 500, a list of the largest U.S. public
manufacturers, based on financial performance in six key areas from
2013 to 2015: revenue growth, profit margin, return on assets,
return on equity, sales turnover and inventory turnover.
Performance for the most recent year was weighted more heavily in
the analysis.
“The team’s execution of our strategic plan to grow and
diversify has been integral to the company’s continued success,”
Giromini added. “We expect to make 2016 our fifth consecutive year
of record performance.”
