This is the second consecutive year Quest has attained the Most Admired designation.
"We are honored to be included once again among this prestigious group of companies attaining this distinction," said Steve Rusckowski, Chairman, President and CEO.

Fortune's "World's Most Admired Companies" list is based on surveys of 680 companies from 28 countries asking executives, directors and analysts to rate companies within their own industry on nine reputation drivers considered to be crucial to a company's global success. These drivers include financial soundness, long-term investment value, people management, social responsibility, use of assets, quality of management, quality of products/services, innovation and global competitiveness.
