  “Phil Cohen and I learned early on that the most important thing we could do was to treat our people right, and we stuck by that. I think if you ask associates what’s special about Michelman, the first thing they would say is our Culture of Caring.”

  —Dr. John Michelman, Chairman Emeritus

    Phil Cohen was a legendary “people person”, innovative leader and staunch advocate for our customers. Phil and John had a close friendship and remarkably productive partnership during their time leading Michelman.

    Team members grow with us.

    With our customers, we grow their businesses. As a member of our team and part of our collaborative environment, you grow with us. We know that together we can solve significant challenges. Michelman associates are smart, quick, and focused on growth—both the company's and their own.

      An expanding global presence.

      We are privately held and professionally operated. We are large enough to have a significant impact with a size optimum for agility. At Michelman, every associate's contributions impact overall company performance.

      Our expanding global presence includes operations in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Our talented associates are deployed to all corners of the world. At our locations in China, Singapore, the United States, Luxembourg, Belgium, and India, our multicultural, diverse, and talented people are doing things that matter, every day.

      Commitment to community.

      Our associates are encouraged to share their time, talents, and treasures with their local communities. Through our annual Commitment to Community Day, associates across the globe have volunteered to assist charitable and non-profit organizations, making a real difference in their communities.

      "We created Community Day in 2011 to put our core value of Giving into practice. I'm proud of our entire team of associates for embracing the spirit of the day and giving back to the communities in which we live and work in the USA, Europe, and Asia. The outreach, dedication, and energy put into this special day is inspiring."

        —Rick Michelman, President and CEO

    Respect for individuals...and their achievements.

    Our focus on the Triple Bottom Line of People, Planet, and Profit contributes to a corporate culture that promotes the wellbeing of our associates and respects the work they do. A high point of every year is our awards ceremony, where we honor our associates and recognize their exceptional dedication and achievements.

  An award-winning work environment.

  Michelman has been recognized for how we create a supportive and engaging workplace at worksites across the globe. These awards include:

    * Excellence Award for Corporate Citizenship from the Innovation Research Interchange (IRI) for our focus on creating a planet-positive footprint and our leadership in fostering sustainable practices.
    * Multiple Great Place To Work® and Best Workplaces™ Awards that recognize "employers who create an outstanding employee experience.”
    * Leader in Workplace Equity certification from Ellequate, measuring workplace satisfaction based on anonymous employee surveys.
    * EcoVadis Gold Rating, ranking Michelman among the world’s top companies for our commitment to environmental and social responsibility, and delivering solutions that help customers achieve their sustainability initiatives.

      The safety and wellbeing of global associates is our top priority.

      We are committed to promoting a safety-first culture with a comprehensive safety program that includes implementation of safety critical rules, cross-functional safety teams supporting health and safety programs at all production facilities, and regularly-conducted onsite audits to ensure compliance with environment, health, and safety requirements at our facilities around the globe.

    Commitment to inclusivity catalyzes innovation.

    We believe our business thrives with a diverse workforce that brings a wide range of unique insights, perspectives, strengths, and abilities to our company. The associates who volunteer for our Diversity Council in the U.S. are dedicated to identifying and lowering barriers, lifting up the voices of every associate, and reinforcing our culture and values. Their work is echoed in our steadfast support and unequivocal commitment to workplace policies and initiatives that underscore the value of each person, including:

      * A Diversity, Equity & Inclusion policy designed to nurture an inclusive culture to celebrate authenticity, and to encourage associates to share what makes them unique.
      * A Pay Equity commitment to address gender- and race-based pay inequities, reflecting our respect for every associate and fostering a culture where everyone can succeed and thrive. This includes a minimum living wage; today, all full-time associates in the U.S. earn an hourly rate of at least $24.
      * A Racial Equity commitment with the Cincinnati Regional Business Committee promising to use our economic and social power to improve racial inequity.

  Our Future is Your Future

  As we prosper, we seek out high potential associates who are eager to grow their careers in a collaborative, supportive environment that is guided by our Culture of Caring and our desire to develop lasting, fair, and trusting relationships with individuals who share our values.
