The Best Managed Companies program is a mark of excellence for private companies
Clemens Food Group is proud to announce it has been selected as a 2025 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private* and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies.
The 2025 designees are U.S. private companies that have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people, as well as maintaining financial performance and governance. Designees drove their businesses forward while remaining dedicated to their people and focusing on their customers. Advanced technology including AI took a center role for most of these companies, to create efficiencies and enhance the quality of products and experiences.
"Receiving the US Best Managed Company award is a tremendous honor and a strong validation of our culture, team and company strategy," said Craig Edsill, CEO of Clemens Food Group. "This recognition underscores our dedication to integrity and delivering value to both our employees and customers. We're energized to keep innovating our industry and driving meaningful impact to our Team Members and partners."
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 governance/financial performance. They join a global ecosystem of honorees from more than 44 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
