We Are Employee-Owned

Over the course of our 90+ year history, Hammond Group has given generations of employees the opportunity to delight our customers and give back to the community. To further this commitment to our employees, customers, and community, we created an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) providing Hammond Group employees a formal stake in the success of the organization. This stock is not publicly traded nor can it be purchased by outside entities. We believe that when Hammond employees own the company, they will be excellent stewards of its prosperity and will work hard to better the enterprise.

By operating as a team of employee-owners, Hammond Group is fostering a culture that is good for workers, good for business, and good for the community and customers that we serve.
