A Colorado-based company that operates a manufacturing facility in Grand Junction has earned recognition for its management.

CoorsTek was selected as a 2023 U.S. Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and the Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes private U.S. firms with revenues of at least $250 million. CoorsTek received the recognition for a third year in a row.

“This award is a tribute to the dedication and resiliency of our CoorsTek team members across the globe over the past several years,” said Jonathan Coors, chief executive officer of CoorsTek. “It also speaks to the strong values that guide our daily activities and actions, and our focus on delivering essential products and services to the marketplace.”

CoorsTek manufactures technical ceramics for the aerospace, automotive, medical and technology sectors as well as other industries.

The company’s facility in Grand Junction produces products for everything from electronics to medical devices to the armor protecting military personnel and vehicles.

The company employs more than 350 in Grand Junction. Staffing is expected to increase along with expansions at the facility.

The Best  Managed Companies program recognizes companies and their management teams for demonstrating excellence in planning and execution, strong financial performance and commitment to their workforces.
A panel of judges assess applicants in four areas: ability to execute, corporate culture, financial performance and strategy.

More than 1,400 companies around the world have received the designation.
