Our Legacy, Your Future

Since 1949, Michelman has been guided by innovation, problem solving, and our people.

Our dedication to Innovating a Sustainable Future has been driven by curious individuals eager to succeed in an environment where they feel respected and supported, working together to achieve results that protect the planet.

Our highest priorities as individuals and a company are Integrity, Respect, Success, Collaboration, Curiosity, and Giving, and those values guide how we behave. We invite you to learn more about our corporate values and culture.

Phil Cohen was a legendary “people person”, innovative leader and staunch advocate for our customers. Phil and John had a close friendship and remarkably productive partnership during their time leading Michelman.

 

Team members grow with us.

With our customers, we grow their businesses. As a member of our team and part of our collaborative environment, you grow with us. We know that together we can solve significant challenges. Michelman associates are smart, quick, and focused on growth—both the company's and their own.

An expanding global presence.

We are privately held and professionally operated. We are large enough to have a significant impact with a size optimum for agility. At Michelman, every associate's contributions impact overall company performance.

Our expanding global presence includes operations in the Americas, Asia, and Europe. Our talented associates are deployed to all corners of the world. At our locations in China, Singapore, the United States, Luxembourg, Belgium, and India, our multicultural, diverse, and talented people are doing things that matter, every day.

Commitment to community.

Our associates are encouraged to share their time, talents, and treasures with their local communities. Through our annual Commitment to Community Day, associates across the globe have volunteered to assist charitable and non-profit organizations, making a real difference in their communities.

"We created Community Day in 2011 to put our core value of Giving into practice. I'm proud of our entire team of associates for embracing the spirit of the day and giving back to the communities in which we live and work in the USA, Europe, and Asia. The outreach, dedication, and energy put into this special day is inspiring."

—Rick Michelman, President and CEO

Respect for individuals...and their achievements.

Our focus on the Triple Bottom Line of People, Planet, and Profit contributes to a corporate culture that promotes the wellbeing of our associates and respects the work they do. A high point of every year is our awards ceremony, where we honor our associates and recognize their exceptional dedication and achievements.

The safety and wellbeing of global associates is our top priority.

We are committed to promoting a safety-first culture with a comprehensive safety program that includes implementation of safety critical rules, cross-functional safety teams supporting health and safety programs at all production facilities, and regularly-conducted onsite audits to ensure compliance with environment, health, and safety requirements at our facilities around the globe.

Commitment to inclusivity catalyzes innovation.

We believe our business thrives with a diverse workforce that brings a wide range of unique insights, perspectives, strengths, and abilities to our company. The associates who volunteer for our Diversity Council in the U.S. are dedicated to identifying and lowering barriers, lifting up the voices of every associate, and reinforcing our culture and values. Their work is echoed in our steadfast support and unequivocal commitment to workplace policies and initiatives that underscore the value of each person, including:
