The transition to an ESOP was also a commitment to the state of Wisconsin that PMC will be a part of its manufacturing community for years to come.
“Since becoming an ESOP, we’ve witnessed a heightened level of engagement from our employees. Instead of bystanders, they’ve become financial stewards. They have a desire to learn more about the business and how their knowledge and talents can be applied to improve the profitability of the company,” said Steen Coleman, Chief Financial Officer at PMC. “Our employees are no longer just workers; they are now proud employee-owners of PMC.”
In celebration of National ESOP Month, Paper Machinery Corporation will be hosting various events and activities throughout the month, including informational sessions for employees and community outreach initiatives to raise awareness about the benefits of employee ownership. These include food drives, and taking donations for Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
