Triangle Business Journal names Chiesi as one of 50 winners of 2018 Best Places to Work awards

CARY, N.C., Aug. 22, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Chiesi USA, Inc. (key-A-zee), a Cary-based specialty pharmaceutical company, was recently named among Triangle Business Journal’s 2018 Best Places to Work.

The 50 Triangle companies were chosen based on an employee survey process conducted by Quantum Workplace. Once nominated, a company had to meet a threshold in employee participation – a percentage that varies based upon the size of the company – to be eligible to be honored.

“We are thrilled to be recognized by the Triangle Business Journal as a leading place to work. In the past year, we have grown to 298 employees and have nearly doubled the size of our family in just four years,” said Ken McBean, President and Chief Executive Officer of Chiesi USA, Inc. “We owe our success to our people who believe in our Chiesi values – among them ethical transparency, collaborative sense of belonging and social responsibility – and apply them daily in our work and relationships with employees and partners. We also make time for plenty of fun and give back to our community.”

Chiesi will be recognized at an awards luncheon hosted at PNC Arena in Raleigh on September 7. Triangle Business Journal will also publish a special section on the company in its weekly subscriber edition.

The Best Places to Work recognition comes after Chiesi USA was named a Top Employer in the United States for the third year running in February 2018. Certification involves an assessment of 600 HR practices conducted by the Top Employers Institute, an Amsterdam-based organization that has been measuring and identifying top employment practices worldwide for more than 25 years.
