Loffler Companies, one of the nation’s largest privately held providers of business technology and managed services, announced today that it has been named by CRN®, a brand of The Channel Company, to the Managed Service Provider (MSP) 500 list in the Elite 150 category for 2026.
CRN’s annual MSP 500 list is a comprehensive guide to the leading MSPs in North America. These companies deliver essential managed services that enhance business efficiency, simplify IT, and optimize return on technology investments for their customers.
The annual MSP 500 list is divided into three sections: the Pioneer 250, which recognizes MSPs focused on the small- and midsize-business market; the Elite 150, recognizing MSPs with a blend of on- and off-premises services for mostly midmarket and enterprise customers; and the Security MSP 100, spotlighting MSPs with cloud-based security services expertise.
The MSP 500 list showcases and celebrates MSPs that are driving growth and innovation. These companies empower businesses with complex technologies so they can achieve their business goals without stretching financial resources.
Earning this distinction for the ninth year underscores the consistency and depth of Loffler Companies’ managed IT and cybersecurity organization. This achievement reflects a company‑wide focus on innovation, service excellence, and helping customers navigate an increasingly complex technology landscape.
“The companies on our 2026 MSP 500 list are redefining what exceptional managed services look like—helping organizations of every size stay agile, maximize their IT investments and scale with confidence,” said Jennifer Follett, VP of U.S. Content and Executive Editor, CRN, The Channel Company. “These are the innovators who stay ahead of customer needs and deliver transformative services that free businesses to focus on what they do best and accelerate their success.”
“We’re proud to be recognized in the Elite 150 category,” said James Loffler, president of Loffler Companies. “This distinction reflects the incredible work our teams do every day to help our clients succeed. Our focus is simple—providing secure, efficient, and well‑managed IT environments that allow our customers to stay focused on what matters most to their businesses.”
