APPLE VALLEY, Minn. — The employees of Uponor North America, a manufacturer of HVAC and plumbing components, have placed the company on the Minneapolis Star Tribune’s Minnesota Top Workplaces list as well as on the Top Workplaces USA list. 

The rankings are based on survey feedback received by Energage, a research company with 17 years of experience assessing 70,000 organizations. Uponor was also awarded three Culture Excellence awards, for its compensation and benefits, innovation, and work-life flexibility.

This is the second year in a row that the company has achieved the Top Workplaces USA and Culture Excellence recognitions.

“Being named a top workplace by our employees in the state of Minnesota and also the U.S., and having them recognize our unique people-first culture that we all work so hard to maintain, is a testament to the strength of our corporate values that drives how we do business every day,” said Uponor North America President Andres Caballero in a press release. “Gaining and retaining top talent in the industry and throughout North America is vital to our success. These recognitions highlight the quality work environment Uponor provides and showcases us as an employer of choice.”

In addition to receiving the Top Workplaces awards, Uponor was also recognized this year with two Minnesota Governor’s Safety Awards, the David Weekley Homes National Preferred Partner Award, and the Plastics Pipe Institute Project of the Year Award in the Building and Construction Division.
