Carrollton, GA – April 13, 2021: Southwire is proud to announce that it has been selected as a 2021 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies and the achievements of their management teams. 

The 2021 designees are U.S. private companies that have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people and fostering a dynamic, resilient culture, as well as strong financials, all while facing the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite major challenges and immense pressure, they continued to lead with purpose and the vision to make significant contributions to their industries, communities, workforces and the economy. 

“Receiving this recognition two years in a row, especially considering the challenges we faced during the COVID-19 pandemic, is a testament to the resiliency and dedication of our employees,” said Rich Stinson, president and CEO. “By continuing to focus on innovation, customer service, fiscal responsibility, a culture of inclusion and a desire to give back to the communities in which we work and live — the aspects of our organization that contributed to this achievement — I’m confident that we will be successful in building a sustainable, multi-generational business for the next 100 years and beyond.”

Applicants are evaluated and selected by a panel of external judges focused on assessing hallmarks of excellence in four key areas: strategy, ability to execute, corporate culture and financial performance. They join a global ecosystem of honorees from more than 30 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
