Employee Ownership

Empowering Our Team Through
Employee-Ownership

Gemini Industries, Inc. has a passionate belief that our company’s strongest resource is our team of employee owners.

In 1984, that principle became more than words when the company began the journey into becoming employee-owned. In April 2003, then-President/CEO Michael Smith completed this journey by selling his majority stock ownership to the employees of Gemini. Smith was instrumental in creating the unique “Culture of Ownership” that exists today.

Today, Gemini stock is 100% employee-owned. Our team believes in the power of unity, collaboration and shared success.

“One of the biggest reasons I'm a proud employee-owner is that Gemini is a big family. Everyone cares about our individual families and offers a helping hand both professionally and personally when needed."

Employee Stock Ownership Program

What is an Employee Stock Ownership Program?

An Employee Stock Ownership Program is more than just a benefits program. It’s a unique opportunity for all of our employees to be stakeholders and decision-makers that impact Gemini’s bottom line every day. Through the ESOP, eligible employees become shared owners of Gemini Industries, Inc., gaining a direct financial stake in the company’s performance and growth.

About Our Culture of Ownership

We are proudly 100% employee-owned. Gemini’s ESOP is a cornerstone of our commitment to our employees’ well-being, offering empowerment and long-term financial security. We know every employee contributes directly to company growth and success, working through the values that define who we are as a team and keeping us focused on our goals.

Benefits of Our ESOP Open to Every Employee

Ownership Culture: Our ESOP fosters ownership and accountability among our team members. Employee-owners have a direct stake in the company and are more motivated and productive, adding to the value and growth of the company. Gemini operates a unique open book management style and every employee-owner has the opportunity to attend monthly financial meetings where the business and financial details of Gemini Industries, Inc. are reviewed and discussed.
Long-Term Financial Security: Every employee is eligible to participate in the ESOP and when the company prospers, so does every employee-owner.
Retention and Engagement: Through our ESOP, we are able to retain and attract top talent. It demonstrates dedication to our values and our employee-owners’ long-term success.

How Our ESOP Works:  We All Succeed Together

Eligibility: After time and hours of work eligibility requirements are met, employees are automatically enrolled in the program.
Allocation of Shares: Each year, Gemini deposits a discretionary injection share based on stock value into every employee’s account. This is at no cost to the employee, other than their time.
Vesting: Employees gradually vest in their ESOP accounts of time, becoming fully vested after a set number of years.
Distribution: Upon retirement or other qualifying events, employees can begin receiving distributions from their ESOP accounts, essentially selling their shares back to the company, providing employees with a valuable source of income.
