April 25, 2019: Business magazine Forbes has included lead battery manufacturer East Penn Manufacturing in the top 500 Best Large Employers in the US for 2019.

Market research firm Statista helped in asking up to 50,000 staff at companies with at least 1,000 employees about their employers and how they would rank them — and out of the top 500 companies, East Penn came in at number 300.
Given that there are at least 7,000 companies in the US that have more than 1,000 employees, this would place East Penn in the top 5% for the country.

It was the only battery company in the ‘automotive (automotive and suppliers)’ category in which it appeared.
Staff were asked about working conditions and if they would recommend their firm to anyone else.

Top of the rankings was Trader Joe’s, a fresh food grocery store.
