The Industry Giants

There are some very large in-plants in North America. To find out who they are, we surveyed our readership. Not all of the largest in-plants replied—in fact six of last year’s top 20 declined to participate this year. But most of them did, allowing us to create two lists:

• The largest in-plants according to the number of full-time-equivalent employees (half of the part-time/temporary employee count was added to the full-time figure).

• The largest in-plants according to sales. (If a sales figure was not provided, the annual budget was used.)
The rankings below and on page 44 will give you a quick look at some (though not all) of the giants in the in-plant industry.
