Mid-Market 500 and 1000 Lists: Leprino Foods No. 1
Pennsylvania Ag Connection - 08/26/2016

CEO Connection, Syosett, N.Y., the only membership organization exclusively for mid-market CEOs, has released the 2016 Mid-Market 500 and 1000 lists and ranked Leprino Foods Company, Inc. No. 1.

The lists rank the top mid-market companies in the United States by their gross revenue (defined as having annual revenues between $100 million and $3 billion). Comprised of nearly 20,000 publicly and privately held companies, the mid-market represents an integral piece of the U.S. economy, employing more than 30 million people and generating approximately $10 trillion of the $30 trillion of annual gross receipts.

Taking the No. 2 spot is M.A. Mortenson, followed by Great Lakes Cheese, Inc., Colonial Pipeline Company and Arkema Inc. Leprino Foods was previously no. 60, while Great Lakes Cheese moved up from no. 2013. M.A. Mortenson, Colonial Pipeline and Arkema are new to the list.

"This is just another step in getting the mid-market the attention it warrants as a job creator, as a force for economic growth and as a driver of social impact," says CEO Connection CEO Kenneth Beck.

There were 187 companies new to the list this year. For the second year in a row, the top industry represented on the list is Industrial Equipment & Machinery. California and Texas have the most ranked companies for the third year in a row. The top 1000 includes companies with revenue from $922M to $3,000M.

CEO Connection drew from numerous sources to provide the data for the 2016 Mid-Market 500 and 1000 firms. The research team reviewed the financial data for U.S.-based companies with revenue from $100 million to $3 billion across all industries. The ranking for this list was based on 2015 revenue. Several public resources were used to validate data and capture additional data about the companies, as well as background information about each CEO. In addition, the captured data was validated via surveys to the ranked companies.

Members of the 2016 Mid-Market 500 and Mid-Market 1000 will be recognized at the annual CEO Connection Mid-Market Convention held in conjunction with the Wharton School at the University of Pennsylvania Sept. 18-21. This exclusive global gathering features hundreds of CEOs, political leaders and business experts convening to discuss issues and challenges for mid-market companies.
