“It’s an honor to be named to the Minneapolis Star Tribune Top 150 Workplaces in Minnesota for the fifth year in a row,” says Bill Gray, president, Uponor North America. “I am proud and grateful to work with an incredibly dedicated and talented group of people.”
Uponor President and CEO Jyri Luomakoski agrees. “Being recognized again as a top workplace in Minnesota is a great achievement for the whole North American team. Our passionate employees have built confidence with our customers for close to 100 years and in North America for nearly 30 years.”
He adds that Uponor North America has grown a great deal in the past several years, which has also required significant increase in the workforce and bringing new colleagues quickly on board. Luomakoski says this is an important demonstration of the team spirit at Uponor North America.

There’s something special about our culture where we live our values, look for better ways to perform, respect one another, and do the right thing for our customers and communities.”
