For the second year in a row, Ecolab Inc. has been named one of the 100 best-managed companies by Industry Week magazine, a 30-year-old publication that focuses on global manufacturing enterprises. A special report highlighting the winners will appear in the August 21 issue.
Winning companies were selected from the INDUSTRY WEEK 1000, a list of the world's largest publicly held manufacturing companies based on revenues. Waltham, Mass. based Primark supplied the data for the Industry Week 1000, which was published in June. Companies receiving this year's award represent 13 countries.
Ecolab's Chairman, President and CEO Allan L. Schuman said: "We are honored to be chosen again among such a illustrious group of companies. It is a tribute to all of our Ecolab associates, who by their outstanding performance every day, earn the trust of our customers and the acknowledgement from independent observers like Industry Week. We will continue to work hard at raising the management and performance standards that have won us the award - and have made our company the industry leader."
Selections were made by Industry Week's editors and a panel of international experts after a lengthy evaluation that included: an analysis of the company's financial performance; review of a questionnaire that each Industry Week 1000 company was given an opportunity to fill out; research into each company's practices in areas such as philanthropy and safety; and voting by a panel of more than 90 business leaders, analysts, and academicians."
