Employee Ownership

Since 2011, Grand River Rubber & Plastics has been a proud 100% employee owned company. Our more than 200 passionate employee owners are an integral part of our operation and our culture. Employee owners at Grand River possess a ‘work hard, play hard’ mentality that drives our success. We understand that each employee’s triumph is everyone’s triumph, since we are all part owners in the company.

At Grand River, everyone from our newest employees to our most senior are valued and encouraged to share their ideas. We have a company-wide  Interdepartmental Request (IDR)” initiative, which encourages employee owners at all levels of the company to submit ideas for more efficient or higher quality ways of doing day-to-day operations. Employees submit an Interdepartmental Request (IDR) form and their ideas are carefully reviewed by the Executive Staff, VP of Operations, Human Resources and the Maintenance Manager. Our employee owners have contributed ideas which have improved production, quality, and customer service.

While our employee owners work hard to produce high performance products and provide unparalleled customer service, our company acknowledges both individual and company success. It is not uncommon to see executive staff trade their business attire for an apron after a record-breaking quarter, cooking hamburger or steak lunches for the employees!
