Listen to this articleDuring a festive Dec. 11 celebration, NJBIZ unveiled the winners of the 2025 Business of the Year awards.
The nine companies – along with three previously announced Executives of the Year – were honored for their commitment to professional excellence, business growth and their communities.
In October, NJBIZ shared the complete list of honorees. However, the winners weren’t revealed until Thursday’s awards ceremony at The DoubleTree by Hilton Somerset.
Now in its 20th year, this program honors companies and individuals for outstanding accomplishments in helping New Jersey’s business community grow and prosper.
Honorees and winners were selected by an independent panel of judges comprising previous program honorees in the following categories:
The last three categories were further divided based on the number of employees.
Congratulations to all the winners and finalists!
