What Founders Say About Employee Ownership

Hear from business owners and experts and learn from their experiences.

“I wanted the people who made our company successful to benefit from a business transition. That meant it had to work well for our employees, vendors, and customers. For me and my business, the best course of action was employee ownership. Since our ownership transition, sales, service levels, and profits have all gone up.”

Joe Nussbaum

President, ACP International

Manufacturing company he founded in 1986 and transitioned to 100% employee ownership in 2022.

“Employee-owned companies consistently outperform their traditionally owned counterparts in terms of productivity, innovation, and resilience. When people have a genuine stake, when they’re owners rather than just employees, they think differently. They care more. They go the extra mile. And our clients benefit from that.”

Alan Gotto

Founder, Constellia

Constellia's founders sold 75% of their business to their team in November 2025.
