We are pleased to officially share the 2025 Finalists and Winners’ Circle through our annual Operation of the Year program. The finalists and Winners’ Circle were recently announced and celebrated by nearly 300 team members at Ruan’s 2026 Leader Summit earlier this month.
This exclusive program recognizes the remarkable efforts of Ruan’s operations teams and the exceptional service they provide to our enduring partners. While our operations serve various industries and customers, each operating group was considered and nominated by its respective vice president of operations based on its demonstration of Ruan’s Guiding Principles: People First, Safety Focus, Exceptional Performance, Customer Satisfaction, and Continuous Improvement.
