The journey
to employee
ownership
This didn’t just happen overnight; we worked for it.
- In 1995, The Superior Group launched its employee stock ownership plan (ESOP), with Jan Van Den Top contributing 42% of his shares.
- Over time, the ESOP allowed employees to gradually gain ownership while offering tax advantages and fostering a sense of shared responsibility.
- By 2003, Van Den Top sold the remaining shares to the ESOP, transitioning the company to 100% employee ownership and converting it to an S corporation for tax advantages.
- The transition was completed in the winter of 2004, and The Superior Group celebrated becoming fully employee-owned, a milestone that continues to define the company’s culture and operations.

What is an ESOP?
An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is an employee benefit plan that allows employees to earn shares in the company over time, making them co-owners. At The Superior Group, this structure creates a unique culture of responsibility and pride, where every team member has a tangible stake in the company’s success. The employee ownership model rewards employees for their dedication and ensures our clients a consistent, high-quality experience.
