Michelman is a global company with offices in the Americas, Asia and Europe.
Located all over the world, Michelman distribution partners have the expertise to help you win.
Our business has been successful, in part, because our communities support us with important resources that make them outstanding places to live and work—and enable us to attract and retain bright and talented individuals. As a result, giving back to these communities is a responsibility we take very seriously, and is expressed through financial support, as well as by volunteering, coaching, teaching, mentoring, and empowering others.
One day each year, Michelman associates across the globe lend a helping hand to a wide range of local charities and non-profits. Through our Commitment to Community Day, associates have participated in landscaping and clean-up work, painted, repaired schools and homes, distributed care packs to vulnerable households, and much more. Since 2011, our hundreds of associates have provided thousands of hours of volunteer work on this day, benefiting our neighbors and giving associates the chance to develop new relationships with colleagues outside of their usual teams.
Here are a few of the organizations around the globe we’ve supported through this program:

Through the Adopt A Class program, associates work in classrooms serving as mentors and positive role models, introducing students to a range of career paths and helping them with job readiness.
In addition to hands-on involvement, we financially support a range of community organizations—a generosity shared by both the company and shareholders. Michelman supports the United Way of Greater Cincinnati in proportions that far exceed our size, ranking us in the Top 25 Partners with the highest level of giving.
The contribution will support numerous charitable organizations, STEM programs, and sustainability-focused initiatives.
Through our Community Fund, associates can direct company contributions to community and charitable organizations they are passionate about, with a donation each year of $500 for STEM or Sustainability-related organizations, or $250 for organizations not related to STEM or sustainability.
Michelman is proud to advance the vitality and vibrancy of our communities through our support of ArtsWave, the region’s largest campaign for the arts. ArtsWave helps fund diverse artists and organizations that create concerts, shows, exhibitions, public art, and arts education programming.
We take pride in our communities. And we’re proud to share our time, talents, and treasures to help make them even better places to live and work. If that appeals to you, we invite you to explore our Careers page.
