Liberty Pumps launches employee ownership plan

Liberty Pumps, which manufactures sump, sewage and effluent pumps and engineered pump systems, has been a family owned company since it was founded in 1965. The ESOP continues Liberty Pumps’ commitment to local ownership.

“The ESOP will not change company operations,” said president and CEO Charlie Cook. “Our current Leadership Team is just outstanding and will remain in place. The ESOP will enhance an already-positive culture where our Members (employees) feel empowered, appreciated and respected. We believe the ESOP will take this to the next level. When a customer calls in, they will now be speaking to an owner.”

The company is currently undertaking a major expansion of its Bergen facilities.
