SFL Companies Named Among the Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® 2025
Rochester, MI – October 7, 2025 — At SFL Companies, culture isn’t an afterthought—it’s our foundation. It shapes how we show up for our customers, collaborate as teams, and create an environment where people genuinely want to do their best work.
That commitment was recognized once again this year as SFL Companies was named Metropolitan Detroit’s Best and Brightest Companies to Work For® 2025 and Best and Brightest Companies to Work For in the Nation® 2025.
These honors celebrate organizations that excel in employee engagement, communication, and workplace culture. For SFL, they highlight what we value most: our people.
Recognizing Excellence, Together
On Wednesday, October 1st, the SFL team gathered in the office to celebrate the achievement. Founder and CEO Royce Neubauer offered a toast recognizing the company’s success, emphasizing the dedication, energy, and collaboration that make SFL’s culture thrive.
The celebration continued with a full taco bar lunch and themed desserts that perfectly captured the spirit of the day—fun, teamwork, and appreciation. It wasn’t just a celebration of the award itself, but of what it represents: years of effort, communication, and shared purpose.
What Makes SFL Best & Brightest
Being recognized as a Best & Brightest Company isn’t about a single initiative—it’s about consistency. It’s about the daily actions that define how we work:
- When teams collaborate, ideas grow stronger.
- When communication flows freely, challenges become opportunities.
- When people feel seen and supported, success follows naturally.
SFL’s success has always been driven by these principles. Whether it’s celebrating milestones, solving customer challenges, or supporting community causes, the company continues to put people first.
A Culture That Moves Us Forward
SFL believes that when it invests in its people, everything else falls into place. Culture isn’t just something the company maintains—it’s something it builds together, one conversation, one project, and one celebration at a time.
The October celebration served as a reminder that the energy, care, and camaraderie inside SFL’s walls are what fuel success beyond them. Because in logistics—and in life—when people feel valued, they go the extra mile.
Looking Ahead
Winning both Metro Detroit and National Best & Brightest honors again this year is more than recognition—it’s motivation. It inspires SFL to keep pushing forward, to continue growing as individuals and as a team, and to stay true to what makes SFL, SFL.
“To everyone who brings their best every day: thank you,” said Neubauer. “You are the reason we continue to earn this recognition year after year.”
Here’s to another year of teamwork, growth, and being truly the Best & Brightest.
