Toll Company, located in Plymouth, MN, met with U.S. Congressman Erik Paulsen in a dialogue on employee ownership and ESOPs on Aug. 5, 2009, at the company’s headquarters.

 

 “We were delighted to discuss with Congressman Paulsen our ESOP story and the incredible impact it has had on our company, particularly its benefits during a weak economy,” said Jim Quicksell, president of Toll Company. “Without the ESOP, we would not exist, and would not be able to share the success of our company with the people who are the company and help make it successful.” 

 

Paulsen and Toll Company employee owners discussed the importance of employee ownership through ESOPs. Toll Company stressed its employee ownership history, and how the ESOP affects the way of life at the company. 

 

More than 40 people participated in the meeting. Congressman Paulsen represents Minnesota’s third district in the U.S. House of Representatives.  The photo below is Congressman Paulsen (left) touring Toll Company with employee owners.
