Wyo-Ben Receives Private Company Board of the Year Award
Wyo-Ben, Inc., a family-owned leader in Wyoming Bentonite Clay products, has been honored with a 2026 Private Company Board of the Year Award by MLR Media, recognizing excellence in private company governance and board leadership. The award was presented during the 2026 Private Company Governance Summit®, held June 10-12 in Washington, D.C. Wyo-Ben was one of only 7 private companies nationwide selected for this prestigious recognition. The Private Company Boards of the Year Awards recognize fiduciary and advisory boards that demonstrate exceptional governance practices, strategic leadership, and a strong commitment to serving shareholders, employees, customers, and the communities they impact. Recipients are selected for going beyond legal governance requirements and exemplifying best practices in board structure, oversight, and performance. Founded in 1951, Wyo-Ben is celebrating its 75th anniversary in 2026. Over the past decades, the company has grown from its Wyoming roots into a global supplier of premium bentonite clay products serving industries including oil and gas, water well drilling, civil construction, environmental applications, pet products, and consumer goods. Throughout its history, Wyo-Ben has remained committed to family ownership, operational excellence, and long-term stewardship. David Brown, president and CEO of Wyo-Ben, accepted the award on behalf of the company's Board of directors, employees, and shareholders during the awards ceremony in Washington. “This recognition reflects the strength of Wyo-Ben’s leadership and governance culture,” said Mr. Brown. “For 75 years, our company has been guided by long-term stewardship, sound decision-making, and a commitment to creating lasting value for our employees, customers, shareholders, and communities. Nearly 20 years ago, we made the deliberate decision to appoint a majority of independent outside directors to our seven-member board. That decision helped shape the company we are today and strengthened our ability to grow while remaining true to the principles that have defined Wyo-Ben for generations. We are honored to receive this recognition and proud of what it represents.” The Private Company Governance Summit®, now in its 14th year, is the nation’s only conference dedicated exclusively to the governance challenges and opportunities facing closely held, family-owned, and private equity-owned businesses.
