NORTH VENICE, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--PGT Innovations (NYSE: PGTI), a national leader in the premium window and door category, recently ranked No. 1 in the engineering and manufacturing category on Forbes’ America’s Best-in-State Employers list for 2022.

This year’s complete list featured 1,380 companies across the U.S. in 25 industry sectors. For the state of Florida, PGT Innovations was one of only 33 companies to make the list.

To compile the list, a survey was conducted among 70,000 U.S. employees across 25 industry sectors. The survey took into consideration every aspect of an employee’s experience, including working conditions, salary, potential for growth, and diversity in the workplace, and also asked for direct recommendations from employees as well as indirect recommendations from workers in the industry. Thousands of companies are eligible for this recognition, with only a select few awarded in each state.

"This recognition is a true testament to the incredible teams across our organization who strive every day to make PGT Innovations a great place to work,” said President and CEO of PGT Innovations Jeff Jackson. “Our company’s success is owed to our team members, and that success is how we are able to continue investing back into our organization – improving our facilities and processes and providing competitive wages, benefits, and growth opportunities. But beyond that, it’s our team members who create this outstanding environment, foster community across our national footprint, and make up our culture of togetherness by living our values every day.”

Prior to this recognition, PGT Innovations has been named on several of Forbes’ lists, including America’s Best Midsize Employers in 2022, Best Small-Cap Company in 2022 and 2021, Best Small Companies in 2021, and the inaugural list of America’s Best-in-State Employers in 2019, to name a few.
