There is no day in which a sector-leading company in a US state is not bought by its own workers, who gain not only a say, but control over results and a retirement plan unaffordable by other means.

“The company, founded in 1983, said it is now structured as an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), which grants eligible team members a stake in the company, in addition to existing retirement benefits. Advanced Roofing indicated that this change is designed to reinforce shared responsibility across the organization, from field teams to project managers and support staff, while maintaining leadership and daily operations.”

“This milestone seeks to secure the company's future and honor those who built it,” said Rob Kornahrens, founder and CEO of the Advanced family of companies. “Employee ownership allows us to remain true to our identity: independent, customer-focused, and committed to long-term relationships.”
