RAYMOND NAMED TO FORBES’ AMERICA’S BEST MIDSIZE EMPLOYERS LIST FOR 4th CONSECUTIVE YEAR

Company ranks top five in engineering and manufacturing category

GREENE, N.Y., April 18, 2024 — For four consecutive years, Forbes has been honoring The Raymond Corporation as one of America’s best midsize employers. The list recognizes employers from among 500 companies, based on an independent survey and polling of an anonymous group of employees. This year, Raymond secured the No. 5 ranking in the engineering and manufacturing sector.

“This tremendous honor is a testament to all our Raymond associates, who work together to deliver excellence every day,” said Michael Field, president and CEO, The Raymond Corporation. “We’re thrilled to achieve this recognition again. And through our model of continuous improvement, we’re excited to keep innovating with better thinking, processes and business.”

The annual ranking — conducted in partnership with market research firm Statista — is based on a survey of more than 170,000 U.S.-based workers at American companies. Organizations with 1,000 to 5,000 employees are deemed midsize employers, while the companies with more than 5,000 employees are considered large. Survey respondents were asked to rate their employer and if they would recommend their employer to others. New to the methodology this year is the inclusion of data from the past three years — with more recent data weighted more heavily — to better identify companies that have been rated well consistently over time.


The Raymond Corporation is hiring for manufacturing and engineering positions, as well as multiple roles in marketing, product management, finance and more. For more details about Raymond’s open positions, visit https://careers.raymondcorp.com/careers.

Australian supermarket chain rolls out AI-powered grocery carts

Grocery shoppers in Australia will soon be able to zip in and out of the store in record time, bypassing the lines for cashiers or self-checkout kiosks altogether. They can just walk in, make their selections, and walk out with their bags in hand.

The secret to this express shopping experience is the “Caper Cart,” an AI (artificial intelligence)-powered smart trolley from San Francisco-based Instacart. In its first deployment in the Asia Pacific (APAC) region, the system is being tested by Coles Supermarkets, a food and beverage retailer with more than 1,800 grocery and liquor stores throughout the country.

How green is your glue?

If you’re looking to make the packaging process more eco-friendly, the obvious place to start is with the box itself. And that’s exactly what Salt Lake City-based Packsize did when it made its initial foray into sustainable packaging back in 2002. That year, the company launched its first product, an innovative on-demand packaging system designed to reduce cardboard waste (and the need for filler material) by creating a right-sized box for each shipment.

Now the company is ready for the next step: greening up the glue.
