Alaska’s Top Locally-Owned Companies Ranked by Gross Revenue
“Look, look again.” The words from our cover story speak to the narrative of the 2021 Top 49ers. Last year threw a lot at the world, and as it became evident that our definition of “normal” would require some reimagination, Alaska Business decided it was time to call for a shift in perspective.
The 2020 Top 49ers theme explored the triumphant journeys of the companies that made the list. It was a celebration of Alaska businesses who weathered an unprecedented upheaval. Now that journey has brought us back to a place that looks a little less familiar than before. But one small change of perspective is all it takes for things to look surprisingly sunnier.
Congratulations Top 49ers!

What makes a Top 49er?
The Top 49ers list consists of locally owned businesses ranked by gross revenue.
Each Top 49er must be at least 51% Alaskan-owned (i.e. headquartered in Alaska with continuous operations in Alaska).
For the purposes of ranking the Top 49ers, assets or assets managed are not calculated into gross revenue.
