Fortune Media and Great Place To Work Name Thermacell Repellents to 2025 Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production List

BEDFORD, Mass., Sept. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Great Place To Work^® and Fortune magazine have selected Thermacell Repellents, Inc. for the 2025 Fortune Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production™ List. This is the company's first time being named to this prestigious list in the small & medium category. Earning a spot means that Thermacell is one of the best companies to work for in the country.

The Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production award is based on analysis of survey responses from nearly 107,000 employees at Great Place To Work Certified™ companies in the manufacturing and production industry.

"At Thermacell, our success starts with our people," said Ashley Larochelle, Thermacell's Vice President of People and Culture. "Winning this award is a reflection of our team's dedication to creating a workplace where innovation and humanity go hand-in-hand. As we embrace new tools and ways of working, our focus remains on fostering a culture where every individual feels valued, supported, and inspired to do their best work. This recognition is not only an honor, but also a powerful tool to help us attract top talent to join us in shaping the future of mosquito protection."

Thermacell recently opened its 256,000-square-foot manufacturing facility in Buford, GA, with more than 60 full-time employees on site. The Buford expansion piggybacks on the 2024 opening of Thermacell's groundbreaking Science & Research Facility located in Hampton, FL, with a new insourced science team of seven full-time employees. At the core of these expansions is a commitment to building an environment where employees can thrive, both personally and professionally. The company also emphasizes leadership development and community involvement, ensuring that its growth is guided by a purpose-driven focus on both its people and neighbors.

The Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production list is highly competitive. Great Place To Work, the global authority on workplace culture, determines its lists using its proprietary Trust Index™ Survey to evaluate and certify thousands of organizations in America's largest ongoing annual workforce study, based on over 1.3 million survey responses and data from companies representing more than 8.4 million employees.

Survey responses reflect a comprehensive picture of the workplace experience. Honorees were selected based on their ability to offer positive outcomes for employees regardless of job role, race, gender, sexual orientation, work status, or other demographic identifier.

"Congratulations to the Best Workplaces in Manufacturing & Production," says Michael C. Bush, CEO of Great Place To Work. "In every industry, our research shows that investing in people drives productivity and higher revenues. When trust levels are high in an organization, people don't fear AI — they embrace it."

"Thermacell applied for Great Place to Work for the very first time in 2025, and we're proud to have earned this recognition so quickly in our first year," said Larochelle. "This achievement is deeply meaningful as it reflects the cultural foundation we've been intentionally building over the past 25 years. We look forward to learning from the other certified companies as we grow and evolve."
