For over 75 years, JASPER Engines & Transmissions has always striven to be the brand of choice for customers as well as the company of choice for our employees. With the inception of our ESOP in 2009, we’ve been putting our money where our values are. We are 100 percent employee-owned and proud of it.
By giving our associates-owners a direct share in our success, we have empowered them to think like proprietors. Our share price increased from $2.20 per share in 2009 to over $340 per share in 2017 putting more money in the pockets of our associate-owners. We have also been able to grow our company family from 1,800 associate-owners to more than 3,000 associate-owners nationwide over the past nine years. We’re helping job creation and sharing the wealth with more people in our community.
Our commitment to associate-ownership was most recently recognized by Forbes, who named us as one of America’s Best Midsize Employers for 2018. We are honored to receive this award and believe that it reflects the high quality of our associate-owners who live our core values of mutual trust and mutual respect every day. They make JASPER a great place to work and help it run like a well-oiled machine.
