Forbes Names Cintas One Of The "Best" Global Companies
Of the 60,000 corporations around the world with common stock, Forbes' editors researched data and analyst insight to determine the 400 "Best" based on a variety of attributes, including a company's ability to "expand its sales and income, earning good profits that reward shareholders over the long haul."
"The A-List seeks to identify the best big companies in the world through a mix of quantitative measures tempered by the judgment of Forbes global editors," the magazine wrote in its April 14 issue.
Cintas CEO Bob Kohlhepp said the fifth-consecutive "Best" ranking recognizes the work of the company's 27,000 employee-partners as well as their long-term commitment to making Cintas a great company.
"Our company's ability to perform year after year is a tribute to our culture and our employee-partners," Kohlhepp said. "From the beginning, we've focused on maintaining an organization that is broad enough to provide opportunity to thousands, but flat enough to allow every employee-partner to make a substantial contribution and be rewarded for it. It's fantastic that Forbes recognizes the success this culture creates."
