BranchServ Now Certified as Employee Owned

BETHEL, CT -- Custom Vault Corporation, together with its CustomVault and BranchServ Divisions, announced today that it has become a member of Certified Employee- Owned (Certified EO), the leading certification program for employee-owned companies in America. 

“Custom Vault Corporation is thrilled to partner with Certified EO,” said Rebecca Cicarelli, Vice President of Marketing and Communications. “We are big believers in the employee-owned model, and we’re excited to work with Certified EO and their members to help bring more attention to this new way of doing business.”

To become a member of Certified EO, companies must pass a rigorous certification process to demonstrate that their employees own at least 30% of the business (exclusive of company founders), access to ownership is open to every employee, and the concentration of ownership is limited. In fact, Custom Vault Corporation is more than 95% employee owned. Fewer than 1 in 200 American companies are eligible to join Certified EO.

“We’re excited to have Custom Vault Corporation as our newest member,” said Thomas Dudley, CEO and Co-founder of Certified EO. “We’re very aligned on values and recognize that employee ownership is good for workers, good for business, and good for communities. As an employee-owned company, Custom Vault Corporation is a pillar of their community and at the forefront of creating an economy that works for everyone.”

Custom Vault Corporation transitioned to employee ownership in 2015.
