Vulcan Materials is Rated No. 1 Most Admired Construction Materials Company by Fortune Magazine
March 7, 2007 - Vulcan Materials Company, Midwest Division today announced that the company is rated the most admired construction materials company on Fortune magazine's newly published 2007 list of America's Most Admired Companies.
Vulcan also is ranked among the top 10 companies in the Fortune 1000 for long-term investment and social responsibility. In the social responsibility category, Vulcan is listed alongside United Parcel Service, McDonald's, Starbucks and Walt Disney. Under long-term investment, Vulcan places among Exxon Mobil, Procter & Gamble, FedEx, Berkshire Hathaway and Walt Disney.
This year marks the sixth time that Vulcan has been selected to the prestigious Most Admired list, which is chosen by a survey of more than 3,000 executives, directors and securities analysts. Of the eight categories measured to determine reputation, Vulcan ranks No. 1 across the board in its industry sector, "Building Materials, Glass" - innovation, quality of products and services, social responsibility, financial soundness, long-term investment, people management, use of corporate assets and quality of management.
"Being recognized as the most admired in the industry, and as one of the most socially responsible companies in the country, is a tremendous honor and a testament to our hard work and dedication," said Rob Vogel, president, Midwest Division. "We will continue to strive to be a trusted neighbor and responsible partner with our communities as we provide critical infrastructure materials to the local economy."
The company's Midwest Division is headquartered in Lombard, Illinois, employs 650 people and operates 26 quarry and sand & gravel locations along with an additional 11 other associated aggregate production, sales and distribution facilities in Illinois, Indiana and Wisconsin.
The Most Admired list, which the magazine calls "the definitive report card on corporate reputations," will be featured in Fortune's March 19 issue, on newsstands March 12, and at www.fortune.com.
