Milliken & Company, a Spartanburg-based company with worldwide operations in textile, specialty chemical and floor covering manufacturing, has been named among America’s Best Mid-Size Employers in 2018, according to a news release.

Compiled by Forbes magazine, America’s Best Mid-Size Employers recognizes highly rated employers with 1,000 to 5,000 U.S.-based employees each year.

“This is truly an honor to receive,” said J. Harold Chandler, chairman, president and CEO for Milliken & Company, said in the news release. “For Milliken, associate engagement and empowerment enable the success we achieve as a diversified manufacturer. We are pleased to be considered an employer of value, and we see this recognition as a reflection of our firm commitment to our associates, first and foremost.”

In collaboration with analytics firm Statista, Forbes asked 30,000 American employees – 82% full-timers – working for large firms or institutions to participate in a survey about their own employers and about other employers based in the U.S. The top 500 mid-size employers – representing 25 different industries – were highlighted based on participant responses.
