We are still celebrating ESOP Month! 🎉


What is an ESOP?

An Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) is a unique and empowering business model where the employees themselves become the proud owners of the company. At Smith Metal Products, we believe in sharing our success and wealth directly with the incredible individuals who make our business thrive. Through our ESOP, our employees are not just workers; they're stakeholders in our collective success.


Why Choose an ESOP Company Like Smith Metal Products?

🔹 Ownership & Control: When you join an ESOP company like ours, you become more than an employee; you become a co-owner. Your hard work translates into a stake in the business.

🔹 Financial Security: At Smith Metal Products, we're committed to not just providing you with a job but also with a path to long-term financial security. As an ESOP participant, you're building your retirement nest egg and financial future with every project which you contribute.

🔹 Culture of Collaboration: ESOP companies foster a culture of collaboration and teamwork. When everyone is invested in the company's success, you'll find colleagues who are genuinely committed to helping you grow and succeed.

🔹 Transparency: In an ESOP, financial information is shared openly, giving you a clear understanding of the company's performance. You'll be well-informed about the health of the business and your own investment.

🔹 Motivated Workforce: Employee ownership encourages a motivated and engaged workforce. When you have a stake in the game, you're driven to perform at your best, leading to both personal and company success.

🔹 Long-Term Benefits: Working for an ESOP company is an investment in your future. As the company grows, so does the value of your ownership stake.

We updated our landscaping in the front of the building, making it more inviting for both employees and guests.


We know the snow will be falling sooner than we want it to, but we will be ready for spring when it comes around again.

The answer is yes and no. Yes, metal can be used in injection molding, but not by itself. In order to get the powdered metal to take the shape of the mold and hold the shape, about 20% of plastic is added to approximately 80% powdered metal. These pellets are called feedstock and they are melted and pushed into the mold. After this point, the part is not complete like it may be with plastic injection molding. The metal part needs to go through the debinding process in order to remove all of the plastic. You cannot leave the part alone after debinding, because it is very fragile and you can think of it like a sandcastle like structure. Then the metal parts go through the sintering process to strengthen the part and remove the holes that were left behind by the plastic. We most commonly use stainless steel powder. Titanium is another metal that we commonly work with. There are some metals that are not compatible with our process. We do not use aluminum, zinc, brass, magnesium or copper in the metal injection molding process. If you want to learn more about the whole process, see the "What is MIM?" section of our website.
