CTE has been selected as a 2022 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies and the achievements of their management teams.

The 2022 designees are U.S. private companies that have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people and fostering a dynamic, resilient culture, as well as strong financials. This year's designees continued to propel their businesses forward by prioritizing purpose, investing in their workforces and demonstrating their commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion.

"As a company with 95 years of history, we view our business with a long-term lens," said Ed Weisiger Jr., president and CEO of CTE. "Everything we do is centered around our purpose of being a trusted partner to our employees, customers and communities.

"It's an honor to be recognized in this capacity for the second year in a row and I am proud to dedicate this award to the 1,700 teammates who bring our purpose to life each and every day."

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 40 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
