ECS has joined the legion of approximate 11,000 firms that have established an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).  "The timing is right to continue our growth trajectory and to maintain the strong commitment of our dedicated and passionate employees," said Mark Hellstein, Founder.  "The employees have made this company what it is and they deserve the opportunity to control their destinies." 

Through an established ESOP, employees are allocated stock that is placed in an ESOP account for each employee.  Over time, the employees develop full, non-forfeitable rights to the assets in their account.  After this vesting process and when employees leave the company, they receive the cash value of the stock in their accounts (usually at retirement).

Currently celebrating its twenty-fifth year in business, the ownership of ECS recognized the timing was perfect to move to an ESOP.  Riding the wave of growth and expansion that was founded on employee commitment and ingenuity, the ESOP will sustain the core values the company was founded on well into the next several decades. 

By sharing the commitment and the common goal to succeed, ECS considers the ESOP just one of the assets on our journey to continued growth.
