Manitowoc Makes <i>BusinessWeek</i> List of Top Performers

April 6, 2009 – In its 13th annual list of the 50 top-performing companies, BusinessWeek magazine named Manitowoc No. 37.

The list of the 50 best corporate performers is arrived at by running data screens on all of the companies in the Standard & Poor’s 500-stock index, focusing on sales growth rate and return on invested capital, according to the magazine. The companies are measured over time, to reward sustained performance, and compared against other companies in the same sector, to enable editors to identify the best performers within their peer group. A board of BusinessWeek editors reviews the list, bringing the judgment that purely financial measures alone can't provide.

 

The Manitowoc, Wis.-based company wasn’t ranked in last year’s list. To view the entire list and read more, visit the BusinessWeek website.
