Employee-Owned (ESOP) Company NewAge(R) Industries Continues to Grow & Prosper; Currently Hiring for Four Positions
Employee ownership works well for this plastic tubing manufacturer. The company adopted its Employee Stock Ownership Plan in 2006 and has continued to grow and prosper. NewAge currently has four employment opportunities, only one of which is a replacement. Controlled expansion is key, and the company credits employee ownership as the catalyst for everyone performing their jobs better.
- Philadelphia, PA-NJ (1888PressRelease) August 21, 2012 - Despite the condition of the economy in recent years, NewAge Industries, a plastic tubing and molded single use products manufacturer, is expanding. The 58-year-old company credits its transformation into an ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan) corporation as part of the reason for its successes.
"It was easy to see the change in attitudes and morale after the ESOP was established. Being an owner carries a different sense of responsibility, and the employees showed their pride of ownership right away," says Ken Baker, CEO and majority stockholder. "Employees - team members, as we're known here - give more thought to everything they do. We've always been cost conscience and concerned with waste and recycling, but the ESOP brought this to a whole new level. It took one of our core Guiding Principles, 'Spend capital and expense money as if it were your own,' and kicked it up a notch."
Baker attributes company growth in part to the ESOP, noting that when team members are made to feel less like a worker and more like an owner, they look at their careers from a new perspective. "There's a true 'all for one and one for all' approach here," he states. "Employees are well aware that the way they answer the phone, make a product, or package an order affects the company's - and their - bottom line."
NewAge's growth is exhibited by its continual expansion. The company has employment opportunities for four positions, and only one of those is a replacement. Baker notes that "The new jobs are created because of controlled growth. We're very careful when we hire. We look for ethical, hard-working, quality-minded individuals who want to be part of a thriving business. And getting a nice nest egg at retirement certainly doesn't hurt."
