August 8, 2025: East Penn Manufacturing has been ranked as one of America’s best employers for women in 2025.

The lead battery manufacturer announced the ranking, by Forbes and Statista, on August 5 — the second time the firm has been named to the list, which also acknowledged some 700 other large American companies.

The accolade came just five months after Forbes and Statista ranked East Penn as one of America’s best large employers for the fourth time.

For the latest ranking, Forbes and Statista conducted an independent survey from a representative sample of more than 140,000 women working for companies employing at least 1,000 people in the US.

The final score was based on personal evaluations, given by employees themselves, in addition to evaluations from friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry.

A much higher weighting is given to personal evaluations and the percentage of women serving in East Penn’s leadership team was also incorporated into the final score.

Christy Weeber, EVP and CFO of East Penn, said: “Women have played an essential role in shaping East Penn’s success, helping to build a strong, values-driven culture and contributing in countless ways that have advanced our company.”
