On April 12, 2017, Hatco Corporation hosted recently elected Congressman Mike Gallagher (R-WI-8) at their manufacturing plant in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. During Congressman Gallagher’s visit he took a tour of the facility and spent time hearing directly from Hatco employee-owners about the benefits associated with being an employee-owned company. He asked a lot of questions and seemed very supportive of the ESOP concept. The Congressman was asked to consider cosponsoring the S ESOP promotion legislation, H.R. 2092. Congressman Gallagher agreed to strongly consider cosponsoring the legislation and we look forward to his future support when Congress returns to Washington, D.C. in late April.
