WILMINGTON, Del. (USA) – Solenis, a leading global producer of specialty chemicals used in water-intensive industries, is proud to announce it has been selected as a 2021 US Best Managed Company. Sponsored by Deloitte Private and The Wall Street Journal, the program recognizes outstanding U.S. private companies and the achievements of their management teams.

The 2021 designees have demonstrated excellence in strategic planning and execution, a commitment to their people and fostering a dynamic, resilient culture, as well as strong financials, all while facing the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic. Despite major challenges and immense pressure, they continued to lead with purpose and the vision to make significant contributions to their industries, communities, workforces and the economy.

Patterson Jr., Solenis senior vice president and chief financial officer. “We combine the right people, the right experience and the right technology within a framework that drives continuous improvement and recurring, sustainable value.”

Award applicants are evaluated and selected by a panel of external judges focused on assessing hallmarks of excellence in four key areas: strategy, ability to execute, corporate culture and financial performance. Solenis joins a global ecosystem of honorees from more than 30 countries recognized by the Best Managed Companies program.
