United Rentals, the world’s largest equipment rental company, today announced it was selected as one of the U.S. Best Managed Companies in the Drucker Institute’s annual Management Top 250 ranking. The prestigious award, presented by The Wall Street Journal, recognizes well-run companies that deliver value to customers, employees and investors.

The Management Top 250 ranking measures corporate effectiveness by evaluating five categories: customer satisfaction, employee engagement and development, innovation, social responsibility and financial strength. The Drucker Institute uses the principles of its founder, the late management guru Peter Drucker, to identify the most effectively managed companies.

"This recognition reflects how we are dedicated to delivering value every day as we work to provide solutions with a shared commitment to service, safety and sustainability," said Matthew Flannery, CEO of United Rentals. “We pride ourselves in doing the right things by all our stakeholders as we endeavor to build a better future together.”

In 2023, United Rentals has received numerous industry awards, including the 2023 HIRE Vets Medallion, 2024 Military Friendly Employer, Forbes America’s Best Employers for Women 2023, Glassdoor Best Places to Work 2023, Top Workplaces USA 2023 and more. The company is also No. 1 on the RER 100. Information on career opportunities can be found on the United Rentals Careers website.
