“The new tax law lowers taxes on our business, which gives us the ability to give back to our employees and invest in our technology infrastructure and partner relationships,” explained Warren Chaiken, president and CEO of Almo Corporation. “We are rewarding our employees with an incremental bonus of $1,000 as they are the greatest asset we have to offer as a business. We also have a plan in motion to continue upgrading our corporate headquarters, sales offices and warehouse facilities.”
Chaiken added that Almo Corporation has begun the transition to a new state-of-the-art operating system that allows for greater efficiencies over the long-term while enhancing the customer experience by enabling the Almo sales teams to process orders more effectively.
For five consecutive years in a row, Almo Corporation has been named a Top Workplace by Philly.com, the Greater Philadelphia Region’s most popular media site. “We continue to be successful and have achieved our 5th consecutive year as a Top Workplace because this is a ‘we and us’ company, not an ‘I and me’ company,” Gene Chaiken, chairman of the board for Almo Corporation has said. “This shows in our culture, our longevity as a successful business and our employee satisfaction.”
