Allied Universal Named to TIME America's Best Private Companies List

Security giant Allied Universal earned the No. 72 spot on TIME magazine's inaugural ranking of 500 U.S. private businesses.

Security and facility services provider Allied Universal secured the No. 72 spot on TIME magazine's inaugural list of America’s Best Private Companies for 2026.

The national ranking evaluates 500 privately held businesses based on two core criteria: employee satisfaction and overall company impact.

For the company impact metric, assessment focused on contributions to community safety, job creation, workforce training initiatives and standard business practices.
