4. RiteMade is 100% Employee Owned
RiteMade Paper Converters, Inc. was founded in 1952 by a group
of private investors with an extensive history in the paper
industry. In 1994 the employees established an ESOP to
purchase the company. On September 1, 2009 the ESOP retired
the debt created to buy out the original owners. RiteMade is now
proud to be the converting industry’s only 100% employee
owned company.
5. Why is 100% Employee Ownership Important?
An ESOP provides a means for the employees to
acquire a beneficial interest in the Company ensuring
that the employees have a direct interest in the success
of the business.
Shares can only be earned, not purchased.
ESOP’s help attract, retain, motivate and reward
productive employees.
