We started an ESOP(Employee Stock Ownership Plan) in 2012. The employees currently own 30% of United Machine Company and their percentage of ownership will increase each year. The ESOP is a reward for their work and a motivational tool. Our employees understand that their personal wealth increases when United Machine Company increases in value. United Machine Company increases in value by meeting and exceeding our customers requirements. We all understand that we must constantly improve our processes, maintain excellent quality, deliver on time, and provide excellent overall value to our customers.
