BOISE, Idaho, Boise Cascade Company was selected as one of America’s Best Large Employers in 2026 by Forbes.

This recognition highlights the company’s strong workplace culture built by their dedicated team of 7,500 associates across North America.

Forbes, in partnership with Statista, selected their annual list of America’s Best Employers based on an independent survey of more than 217,000 U.S. employees at companies with at least 1,000 team members. More than 3.5 million employer evaluations were considered. The final score is based on two types of evaluations: personal (those given by employees themselves) and public (those given by friends and family members of employees, or members of the public who work in the same industry), with a much higher weighting for personal evaluations.

Boise Cascade ranked 553 out of the 700 companies listed by Forbes this year. Trader Joe’s, St. Jude’s Research Hospital and Google ranked one, two and three on Forbes’ list respectively.

“It is an incredible honor to be recognized as one of America’s Best Large Employers,” said Jeff Strom, CEO. “At Boise Cascade, our people truly are our difference. How we treat one another matters as much as the work we do, and everything we do is rooted in our core values of Safety, Integrity, Respect, and the Pursuit of Excellence. This recognition belongs to our 7,500 associates who support one another and give their best every day.”

Boise Cascade is one of the largest U.S. wholesale distributors of building materials and manufactures engineered wood products and plywood. The company operates more than 60 distribution and manufacturing facilities located across the U.S. and Canada.
