From its inception in 1986, WESTPAK has been synonymous with excellence and innovation in the package and product testing industry. Our recent feature in Business View Magazine is a testament to our commitment to quality and our unique approach to business through employee ownership.
Our esteemed President and CEO, Nora Crivello, articulates this commitment best: “At WESTPAK, we believe that the collective expertise and motivation of our employee-owners are the driving forces behind our innovative solutions and exceptional service.” This philosophy has set us apart in a competitive industry and solidified our position as the world’s most trusted test laboratory.
Our journey from steady foundations to rapid expansion is a story of strategic foresight and unwavering dedication. Our founder, Herb Schueneman, laid the groundwork with a vision centered on integrity and a sense of ownership for employees. As we transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), we became 100% employee-owned, offering significant tax benefits and fostering a culture of ownership and commitment among our team.
The ESOP model has been a transformative structure for WESTPAK, allowing us to differentiate ourselves significantly in the testing industry. “In the testing, inspection, and certification space, there’s been a significant shift in ownership structure over the past 10 years,” says Nora. “WESTPAK has navigated these changes with agility and purpose, ensuring our growth and success.”
We invite you to read our feature in Business View Magazine to learn more about our path aligned with core values, our innovative ESOP structure, and our commitment to customer service. Join us in celebrating our achievements and exploring the future of WESTPAK.
We sincerely appreciate your continued support and interest in WESTPAK. Together, we’re shaping the future of testing.
Thank you for being part of our community!
