Casey-Fogli began as H.E. Casey Company in 1906. Harold E. Casey started the company as a producer and seller of dry construction materials such as rock, sand, and gravel. Over the years, the company grew and evolved. Along with building and operating four concrete ready mix plants, a construction division was developed. During the 1960s, Pete Fogli worked for H.E. Casey Company as Vice President. During this time, the company decided to merge its ready-mix operations with another and retained the construction division, expanding in both size and scope. In 1972 Pete Fogli purchased H.E. Casey Company and changed the company name to Casey-Fogli Concrete Contractors. A vital member of the Casey-Fogli team was Controller, Vince Ippolito. Vince and Pete were a dynamic team that focused on substantial growth, customer service, and quality production. Upon Pete Fogli's passing in 1978, Vince Ippolito's leadership position transitioned to President. Casey Fogli's reputation as a premier concrete contractor throughout the greater San Francisco Bay Area grew. Well-positioned in both the public and private markets, Casey Fogli performed Place and Finish, Package and Site Concrete work. Prior to retirement in 2020, Vince chose to bring the Casey-Fogli family under the umbrella of Harbor Linx, a premier 100% employee-owned merger and acquisition company in the Bay Area. Andy Vasconi, as an employee-owner at Harbor Linx, was a natural fit to take the helm of leadership as President of Casey Fogli. His industry insight and decades of leadership will continue to build upon the strong Casey-Fogli legacy and best position the company for the next generation of success.

The Davey Tree Expert Company, which provides diversified tree services, grounds maintenance and environmental services. Headquartered in Kent, Ohio, Davey is the largest employee-owned company in the state and one of the largest in North America.
Founded in 1880 as a family-owned company, Davey’s story of employee acquisition began in the late 1970s when the Davey family decided to sell the company. Almost immediately, an employee-ownership exploratory committee was formed. In 1979, 114 employees made a financial commitment to directly purchase stock. The company redeemed thousands of shares of stock but reserved some to be sold to the newly created Davey Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which attracted the participation of more than 400 employees.
Since 1979, Davey has grown considerably, becoming a billion dollar company in 2018 with more than 10,500 employees contributing throughout North America. While celebrating 40 years of employee ownership last year, Davey cracked the nation’s top 10 of the National Center for Employee Ownership's Employee Ownership 100.
Today, Davey proudly recognizes employee ownership as what makes them stand out. As Pat Covey, the company’s chairman, president and CEO attributed, “Employee ownership has allowed [Davey] to create a culture that has withstood a lot of economic and business challenges over time.” Davey’s success with its conversion to employee ownership offers a model for other companies interested in building resilience and longevity.

Evergreen Cooperatives is a Cleveland-based network of employee-owned companies, including an industrial-scale ecologically advanced laundry, a large urban greenhouse, a renewable energy company, and a fund to pursue employee ownership conversions of existing businesses.
The Evergreen Cooperatives were launched in 2008 by a working group of Cleveland-based institutions, including the Cleveland Foundation, the Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, Case Western Reserve University, and the municipal government. Cleveland, a former industrial metropolis, had been wracked by deindustrialization and depopulation. The Evergreen initiative was part of a regional economic plan to link the community’s economic development with the purchasing power of anchor institutions to expand wealth building opportunities in low-income, high-unemployment communities.
The initiative’s strategy focuses on economic inclusion and building a local economy from the ground up, by catalyzing new employee-owned businesses. The approach is to first create the jobs, then recruit and train local residents to fill them. Furthermore, the Evergreen Cooperatives return a percentage of their profits to develop additional worker-owned firms and grow the local economy. The Cleveland Foundation’s President/CEO and Evergreen Board Chairman, Ronn Richard frames this succinctly: “Our goal is equitable wealth creation at scale.”
The Evergreen Cooperatives create quality jobs through employee ownership and democratic management, anchor these jobs and wealth in the local community, and keep money circulating, which is reversing long-term economic decline. Today, this success has developed a reputation as “The Cleveland Model,” proving that “networked employee-owned businesses can succeed in the market while generating meaningful social impact and much higher quality jobs.” Nationwide, other cities are replicating and adapting this innovative approach to economic development, green job creation, and neighborhood stabilization.

Their deep roots in highly technical electro-mechanical and electrical systems gives them an extraordinary degree of expertise to help their clients find the very best solution for their power needs, including new installations, retrofits, or maintenance & repair. GPS LLC has over 70+ years of serving Hawaii’s critical infrastructure needs.

Gibson Insurance Agency, Inc. was founded nearly 100 years ago. And since day one, the company has been driven by their relationships with clients, employees, and the community. Gibson's first office in Plymouth, Indiana was opened in 1933, and as the company's reach grew, so did the Gibson team. Today, Gibson serves both local and national clients from five Midwestern and Southwestern offices. Gibson started as a family business, grew to include employee stockholders, and in 2011, became an ESOP – employee-owned.

When Anne St. Peter and Douglas Bell started Global Prairie in 2008, they had a clear vision: to be a business that would make a positive impact in the world, where purpose would be as important as profit. In the years since, this strategic consulting and marketing firm has stayed true to that original purpose, becoming a leader in the corporate movement that believes business should be a force for good in the world. Today, Global Prairie is proud to be an award-winning certified Benefit Corporation (B Corp), a Public Benefit Corporation, and one hundred percent employee owned.
Working with clients ranging from start-ups to Fortune 100 multinationals to nonprofit organizations and government agencies, Global Prairie helps clients define and activate their purpose – why they exist – to maximize shared value for the organization, their customers, the community, and the world. As a hybrid strategic consulting and creative agency, services range from positioning and strategic planning to in-market activations of all kinds, including design and digital. Everything the Global Prairie team does is powered by data-driven insight, leveraging a variety of tools and techniques including their own proprietary approach, Datafarm, to ensure all strategic recommendations and creative solutions are grounded in insight.
The firm works largely in the sustainability, energy/environment, healthcare, food/agriculture, education and philanthropy sectors. Global Prairie is proud to have partnered with their clients to put purpose in the center of their business strategy and in return, yield more significant bottom-line results, impact and growth. Along the way, Global Prairie has grown from two offices in Kansas City and Cleveland to more than 125 employees in nine offices in the United States and Europe.
Global Prairie is also proud of their own community impact. Since day one, the firm has returned at least 10 percent of its profits to the communities where its employee-owners live and work, totaling more than $12 million to civic, educational and charitable organizations. Every Global Prairie team member volunteers nearly three weeks of paid time annually to organizations of their choice. During the last dozen years, Global Prairie employee-owners have served on more than 300 nonprofit boards and positively impacted nearly 700 charitable organizations. Because of their positive impact in the community and the way the firm treats their employee-owners, Global Prairie ranks among the top 10 percent of B Corps worldwide. The United Nations and the World Health Organization have also named Global Prairie as one of the world’s healthiest employers.
In short, Global Prairie was founded on the idea that making a profit is not the end goal, but rather the means to making an impact. And that the success of a business isn’t so much about what you get, but what you give. It is in this spirit that the firm has become a force for good for their employee-owners, their clients and their community.
