Puritan Medical Products Company Named Company of the Year by Inc. Media


Puritan wins Inc. Media’s 2020 Company of the Year

“I couldn’t be prouder to see the role we’re playing today in meeting the growing need for COVID-19 testing supplies. Those of us at Puritan are ecstatic not only to receive this honor but also to continue meeting this historic challenge.”

Puritan Medical Products Company has been named Company of the Year, the highest honor given among Inc.’s first annual Best in Business list. Puritan was selected based on its achievements as one of two companies in the world that made the nasal swabs necessary for COVID-19 testing, as well as the rapid expansion it put in place to increase supply.

“The obstacles we faced this year have been unlike any other, and from bringing in extra workers to adding new infrastructure our team rose to the occasion time and time again,” says Timothy Templet, co-owner and executive vice president of Puritan. “My grandfather laid the groundwork for Puritan in 1919 amid a global pandemic, and I couldn’t be prouder to see the role we’re playing today in meeting the growing need for COVID-19 testing supplies. Those of us at Puritan are ecstatic not only to receive this honor but also to continue meeting this historic challenge.”

Inc. created the Best in Business Awards to honor companies that have gone above and beyond to make a positive difference. The list recognizes small- and medium-size privately held American businesses that have had a superlative impact on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

Instead of relying on quantitative criteria linked to sales or funding, Inc.’s editors reviewed the companies’ achievements over the past year and noted how they made a positive difference in the world. The applicant pool was very competitive, with around 2,700 entries and an acceptance rate in the low single digits. Honorees for gold, silver, bronze, and general excellence across industries and categories are featured online at inc.com/best-in-business.
