We’re celebrating some big news—MadeToOrder has officially been named one of PPAI’s Greatest Companies To Work For in 2025!
What makes this recognition so meaningful? It comes directly from our team. Every part of the evaluation—leadership, communication, benefits, growth—was based on employee feedback. To us, that’s the best validation we could ask for.
PPAI President and CEO Drew Holmgreen added, “Each of these companies demonstrates what it looks like to prioritize people. When employees feel valued and supported, the impact reaches every level of business and extends across the industry.”
At MTO, we believe the best work happens when people feel like they belong. We’ve always said our culture is built on connection—showing up for each other, creating space for everyone’s voice, and celebrating the wins big and small. Being recognized by PPAI is an honor, but knowing it reflects how our team feels about working here is what makes it truly special.
