Southwest Solutions Group Transitions to 100% Employee Ownership

southwest solutions serving customers since 1969Southwest Solutions Group® is changing for the better in 2017. Going forward, SSG will transition to 100% employee ownership through an employee stock ownership plan (ESOP).

According to the National Center for Employee Ownership, about 7,000 U.S. companies are partially or entirely owned by their employees. Employee-owned companies tend to grow faster, pay more, have better benefits, and are less likely to practice lay-offs or outsource work overseas than conventionally-owned businesses. Often, employee-owned companies have happier employees; in fact, these types of companies are frequently listed as some of the “Best Places to Work.” 84% of employee-owned companies agree that employee ownership inspires motivation and productivity.

Employee ownership is the ideal succession plan for Southwest Solutions Group, agree former owners Ray Streight, Randy Brant, Troy Menchhofer, Rich Riemer, and Craig Crock. They are confident that the employee stock ownership plan will support the growth of Southwest Solutions Group’s future goals while rewarding its hard-working and dedicated employees.

Employee ownership allows us to prove to all who come behind us that we are faithful to our SSG legacy,” comments Streight on the new employee ownership plan.

Founded in 1969, the employees of Southwest Solutions Group are eager to continue the company’s growth and collaborative environment and become more successful and competitive. The transition to an employee stock ownership plan was not only determined as the best course of actions for Southwest Solutions Group’s employees, but for the satisfaction of its customers as well.
