MSA Safety, Inc. announced it has been named one of the Best-Managed Companies of 2023 by The Wall Street Journal (WSJ).

The Top 250 list, which was established in 2017, is compiled by the Drucker Institute and is published annually by The Wall Street Journal. The Drucker Institute evaluates companies based on five key categories of corporate performance: customer satisfaction; employee engagement and development; innovation; social responsibility; and financial strength. In addition to making the list of 250 companies, MSA was noted for its strong performance in customer satisfaction, ranking among the top 10 in that category.   

“This recognition by The Wall Street Journal reflects the passion our 5,000 associates around the world share in fulfilling MSA’s mission to help protect people at work,” said Lee McChesney, MSA Safety Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “I believe it also recognizes the dedication and talents of our people leaders and management team. I joined MSA Safety a little over a year ago, and I have seen that passion on display since day one.  Without question, it’s an important driver of our success and what keeps us inspired to do even better as we prepare to enter our 110th year of business.”

Nearly 800 publicly traded corporations were evaluated for the Top 250 list, with the rankings developed based on the evaluation of 34 metrics from 15 third-party sources. 

The 250 Best-Managed Companies of 2023 recognition is the most recent honor for MSA Safety. Earlier this year, the company was recognized by Newsweek as one of America’s Greenest Companies 2024; named one of America’s Climate Leaders 2023 by USA Today; honored by Newsweek as one of America’s Most Responsible Companies 2023; and, for the 10th time, has been named as one of the Pittsburgh region’s Top Workplaces by the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
