12 NJ companies named among best midsize businesses in U.S.

Time magazine honored America’s Best Midsize Companies for 2025 and 12 of them that made the list were in New Jersey.

Now you might wonder how big or small a "midsize" company is. Time ranked companies with revenue between $100 million and $10 billion. They used data from Statista.

The companies were evaluated based on worker satisfaction, revenue growth, and sustainability transparency, using 2023 and 2024 numbers.

Why midsize companies? Doug Farren, the managing director of the National Center for the Middle Market at The Ohio State University Fisher College of Business, says it’s these businesses that make up the very backbone of many communities.

“The average age of a mid-sized company in the U.S. is about 34 years,” says Farren. “They're really at a sweet spot where they have enough years of experience, sustained success, to be able to expand into new markets, introduce new products and services. A lot of them are thinking about ways that they can innovate and grow.”

Here are the 12 New Jersey businesses that were honored on Time’s list and where they placed among the best 500 midsize companies.
