Accompanying the Global Top 25 is the IARW North American Top 25 List.

The North American Top 25 currently operates 2.50 billion cubic feet (70.72 million cubic meters) – a 2.85 percent increase from 2009.

The combined space of IARW’s total membership, including the Global Top 25 members and the North American Top 25, saw a 5.1 percent increase from this time last year, operating approximately 3.97 billion cubic feet (112.36 million cubic meters).

“The lists reflect the breadth and diversity of today’s PRW industry,” says IARW pesident and CEO Bill Hudson. “Our members continue to strategically grow their operations in North America and around the world in order to better meet the needs of their customers.
