top 100 private companies - baton rouge business report10,000 13/27 baton rouge 1919 engineering,...

HOW THE LIST COMES TOGETHERIN THE SPRING, Business Report sent out announcements and emails to all companies on our recent Top 100 lists, as well as to those identified as possible qualifiers and those suggested by readers. We also placed notices on our websites, asking companies to post their information or submit it to us.

We followed up with emails, phone calls and research to confirm the data. In some cases we looked at related industry performance reports and other business compilations to estimate revenue.

Some companies declined to reveal their numbers, so we relied on public information and sources to make reasonable estimates. Those companies are denoted in the list’s footnotes.

Companies were ranked according to their reported or estimated revenue for the most recently completed fiscal year, which in most cases was the calendar year 2019.

LISTMAKERS

WELCOME TO THE CLUB……OR IN SOME CASES welcome back. An eye-catching 12 companies are either rejoining the Top 100 or making the list for the first time. The biggest driver behind this shake-up is a change we made this year where only companies headquartered in the Capital Region are eligible for consideration. That knocked several firms with sizable operations in the region off the list, including one top 10 company. Of course several made it the old-fashioned way: strong revenue growth.
