This recognition is a testament to the unwavering dedication, hard work, and spirit of Chugach’s more than 4,500 employees who work across the globe. Without their commitment and excellence, the corporation would not have been able to reach this milestone and maintain the forward momentum that has defined our company’s legacy of success over the years.
Chugach’s consistently strong business performance has earned the corporation a place on the Top 49er list 34 times, starting with our debut at #36 in 1987, when we reported $21.4 million in revenue. We’ve been on the list every year since 1995, and for the past 26 years, we’ve ranked in the top 10. This remarkable record highlights the sustained strength and resilience of Chugach, as well as the enduring impact of all who have proudly worn a Chugach employee badge since the corporation’s founding in 1972.
Chairman of the Board Sheri Buretta stated, “As we celebrate this honor, we also reflect on the rich history that has shaped who we are today—a company anchored in resilience, growth, and a shared vision of lasting prosperity. Despite headwinds in recent years, I’m confident that our newly established leadership team and renewed strategic vision will chart our course for growth in the years ahead.”
Chugach extends our warm congratulations to the other remarkable companies who have also earned a spot on this year’s Top 49er list, each of whom has played a vital role in fueling the economic engine of the great state of Alaska. We are honored to be a member of this community, and together we are doing our part to forge a prosperous future for all Alaskans.
