Hopkins Forms Stock Ownership Plan

In April, Hopkins Printing signed a letter of intent to be acquired by Houston-based Consolidated Graphics. But company President Jim Hopkins felt the ESOP was in the best interest of his company. Hopkins’ management team will remain in place.

“As we considered the long-term future of the company and our employees, it seemed right to us that it be sold to our employees rather than to outside interests,” Hopkins notes. “Without the hard work and dedication of our employees, we would not have reached the success we have attained, nor would we have become one of the most award-winning printing companies in central Ohio.”
