The IPG Top 50

In addition, three new in-plants joined the Top 50 this year, Principal Financial Group, Gospel Publishing House and University of Wisconsin-Madison.

As in previous years, despite our best efforts, we were not able to get every large in-plant to participate. The Department of Defense, the CIA, State Farm, the Watchtower Society (Jehovah's Witnesses) and a handful of others all have expansive operations, but did not want to supply us with data. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is not permitted to divulge financial information, otherwise it would certainly be among the top 10.
