Web Industries: A Connecticut Employee Ownership Story

Connecticut-based manufacturing company Web Industries shares the inspiring story of employee ownership and the legacy of its founder, Bob Fulton. Founded in 1969, Web Industries was built on Bob Fulton’s belief that “The Essence of Life is Relationships.” When planning for retirement, Bob chose employee ownership, ensuring that the people who helped build Web Industries would help shape its future. Today Web Industries is a 100% employee-owned ESOP with operations across North America and Europe, carrying Bob’s vision forward in ways that extend far beyond the workplace. His legacy continues to make a meaningful difference for Web Industries employees, their families, and the broader community of Dayville, Connecticut. Throughout the video, Employee-Owners share their perspectives on what it means to be an Employee-Owner at Web Industries.
