Ciranda

Location icon

Hudson, WI

Company icon

ESOP

Ciranda supplies brands and manufacturers with the highest quality certified organic and non-GMO ingredients, with a focus on sustainable supply and fair trade practices. As the U.S. organic market began to mature, they saw an opportunity to support organic market growth in North America, and at the same time support the development of global communities they had become so connected with. In 2000, Ciranda transformed from an export model, to primarily an import model as it operates today, offering a core portfolio of ingredients derived from coconut, palm fruit, cacao and tapioca.


Throughout its history, Ciranda has focused on innovation through the growth and commercialization of organic ingredients. Ciranda introduced North America to organic tapioca starch in 1998, and organic tapioca syrup in 2001. In 2002, we partnered with a Brazilian palm oil producer to offer sustainable organic palm oils. Organic and fair trade cocoa, chocolates and coconut joined our portfolio in the years following. More recently in 2018, they expanded commercial availability of organic cassava flour and organic rice syrup, both with social programs designed to positively impact the livelihood of farmers at the beginning of the ingredient's lifecycle.

Kent, OH

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

Location icon

Cleveland , OH

Company icon

COOP

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.

Fireclay Tile

Location icon

Aromas, CA

Fireclay Tile is changing the face of tile, from the sustainable ways that we make our product using recycled content and local manufacturing to how we engage and sell to customers. We are intensely focused on building a brand and ensuring that all of our customers have the best experience possible when buying tile. Simply, we want to make tile easy, and we want to sell the highest quality products in the most user friendly way.

We make each and every piece of tile by hand for your project. We offer free design services for homeowners, a program for residential trade professionals, and dedicated commercial support for large projects.

It all began with Fireclay Founder Paul Burns, who got his start as an apprentice to his uncle at the age of 10, carrying on a family tradition that dates back to the 1920s. With a knack for the trade, a mind for science, and a passion for conservation, Paul set out on his own and made Fireclay Tile in 1986.

Since then, Fireclay has been reinventing, redefining, and radicalizing the industry. As the first tile company to be certified as a Benefit Corporation, we are proud to continue standing on our founding principals. We do this by committing to using sustainable manufacturing practices, using recycled materials, and taking care of our employees—all the while putting you, the customer, first.

For us, making tile is about more than just playing with color. It’s about the earth. We dig our hands into the dirt and feel a connection to the past, to our history, and to our need for shelter. Clay is one of the oldest building materials known to man, yet somehow, it continues to surprise us every day.

We may have caught tile up to the 21st century, but the heart and soul of Fireclay remains the same. We work directly with you because at the end of the day, you’re the thing that keeps us going. We still make every ceramic tile to order at our Aromas factory, nestled in the middle of California’s agricultural heartland, right where it all began.

Global Prairie PBC, Inc.

Kansas City, MO

Company icon

ESOP

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.

In 1988, electromechanical assembly operations were added Production wire EDM came along in 1992, followed by expansion of the metal stamping operation. We purchased our first Amada Co2 laser cutting system in 1999.  In the 2000’s many new technologies have been added, including:  Heat treating, injection molding, and clean room packaging.

HB Global, LLC

Location icon

Harrisburg, PA

Company icon

ESOP

HB Global is a near-100% employee-owned company based in Harrisburg, PA that provides HVAC, plumbing, and electrical services. HB Global has pursued an aggressive acquisition strategy — which has driven nearly eightfold growth in revenue since the company started its Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) in 2010 — while making considerable investments in its growing workforce of employee-owners.

Herbert Bassett McClure founded HB McClure in 1914, and in 1931 the company established its headquarters in Harrisburg. A year later, two inventors pioneered an individual room air conditioner that could sit on a window ledge, and HB McClure soon after entered the air conditioning business. By the 1980s, the company had expanded to commercial HVAC services.

In 2008, with the Great Recession looming, Bob Whalen took over as the company’s new owner from its third generation of family ownership and became President and CEO. Soon after becoming the new owner, Whalen identified ESOPs as an effective tax-advantaged strategy to ensure the company’s long-term stability. After gaining the support of the board of directors, he sold the company back to the employees in 2010 in the ESOP transaction.

The company then embarked on a growth strategy that included 19 acquisitions between 2011 and 2020, and it established HB Global, LLC in 2017 as the holding company for the new divisions.

“When we started the ESOP, we were all within about 45 miles of Harrisburg,” Whalen said in a recent interview. “Today we have eight divisions spanning nine states and the U.S. Virgin Islands. We are now doing work across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, and New England regions as well as Arizona.”

Acquisitions have helped the company diversify its clients across industries, including large contracts with government, life sciences, healthcare, and convention centers. Between 2010 and 2020, the company’s revenue surged from $25 million to $275 million, and it plans to become a perennial billion-dollar company within the next decade.

But acquisitions of existing companies have not meant cutting staff. “A big part of what private equity does is they find synergies, which is code for reducing headcount. We do none of that,” Whalen said. “Our strategy is to grow these businesses and create value for our employee-owners, it’s not to shrink them.”

HB Global employs over 1,700 individuals, most of whom are now employee-owners who become eligible after one year of service. Since it created the ESOP, the company has generated over $87 million in retirement savings for employee-owners. For the average field technician who has been with the company since it became employee-owned a decade ago, their ESOP account has generated more than $203,000 in retirement savings, driven in part by the company’s 12% contribution of annual compensation to ESOP accounts. (The current average U.S. net worth at retirement age is $213,000.) Whalen has a strong belief that every business has an obligation to build wealth for their employees through retirement savings, with employees at all levels sharing in the success or failure of the company.

“Our intent is for this structure to go on for multiple generations and to continue to thrive,” Whalen said. “That doesn’t happen in three years or five years. It certainly doesn’t happen on a quarterly basis. Everything we’re doing is really a multi-generational project.”
