Standard Process Inc. Among Wisconsin's Top 75 Privately Held Companies

PALMYRA, Wisconsin (October 16, 2009)–Standard Process has been named one of the top 75 largest, privately held businesses in Wisconsin for the second consecutive year. Standard Process, a nutritional whole food supplement company in Palmyra, rose to #64, climbing in rank over last year's first appearance on the list at #68.

"To continue be listed alongside some of Wisconsin's top businesses is an honor," said Charles DuBois, president of Standard Process. "Our continued growth shows how hard we have worked to raise awareness and educate people on how nutritional supplements, particularly whole food supplements, can lead to improved wellness and a healthier lifestyle." Standard Process reported 2008 sales of $97.6 million.

The listing ranks companies by revenue, as determined by a voluntary submission of a qualification form. To qualify, companies must be majority owned by employees, a family or an individual; have at least $50 million in annual revenue; and be headquartered in Wisconsin–not subsidiaries of a company outside of the state.
