The 2007 IW 50 Best Manufacturing Companies
The IW 50 Best Manufacturing Companies is IndustryWeek's report on the 50
best publicly held U.S. manufacturing companies. To identify the top performing manufacturers, the IW formula factored in
revenue growth and profit margin over the past three years, with 2006
results weighted most heavily. We also considered three-year performance in
four other financial ratios: inventory turns, asset turnover, return on
assets and return on equity. This list was published in the June 2007 issue of IndustryWeek .
