About Us
Emprise Group, Inc. is a 100% employee-owned ESOP holding company focused on establishing a diversified portfolio of investments across a range of retail, industrial, consumer products and other industries.
Emprise, the unique combination of “employee” and “enterprise,” embodies our entrepreneurial spirit and ambitious goal to enable our operating companies to leverage their competencies and industry knowledge in order to accelerate growth and create meaningful value for our employee-owners.
What We Do
We continue to build off a legacy of innovation and entrepreneurialism that dates back to 1908. We are strongly convicted in the power of employee-ownership and, in August 2020, we established the Emprise Group Employee Stock Ownership Plan to reinforce and strengthen our ownership culture. Our future success is attributable to a talented group of more than 1,200 employee-owners operating within an organizational culture that encourages each of them to behave as the owners they are.
Through their participation in the Emprise Group Employee Stock Ownership Plan, we strive to provide an opportunity for all employee-owners to secure their future financial independence by offering them an ownership stake in our portfolio of businesses.
