Alaska Trends
all is a special time; the changing colors, feathered friends in the sky, an excuse to splurge on an extra dash of pumpkin spice. And for the Alaska Business team, as well as the community we serve, the harvest month also means an opportunity to take a peek at some of the state’s top locally-owned companies ranked by gross revenue. The Top 49ers are Alaska’s top-performing companies, covering a wide spread of the industries that keep our economy running strong.
These companies are a diverse bunch, in both size and function. Cornerstone General Contractors is a company of merely 42 employees—a stark contrast to ASRC, the Alaska Native corporation that has occupied our top spot since 1995 and boasts a stunning worldwide employee count of 15,181. A grocer headquartered in Wasilla currently enjoying revenues in the hundreds of millions, Three Bears was first featured in 2010 and hasn’t looked back since.
This month in Alaska Trends we delve deeper into the numbers behind the trends that drive the members of this highly-anticipated list to provide an even more comprehensive view of the 2020 Top 49ers.
The order of the top six Top 49ers did not change from 2019 to 2020.
