Employee Ownership

With wise foresight, former stockholders and executives of Walman Optical transferred ownership into 100% Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) years ago. This simple fact is a source of strength that helps everyone stay true to the values covered in these pages.

Employee ownership means everyone at each Walman Company has a vested interest in the work at hand. Employee ownership has led to long tenure and smooth leadership transitions. Being an ESOP also provides unique financial options. This unique structure has created an island of stability in a turbulent industry.

Patient preferences, new technologies, and custom services drive the optical business. Eye care professionals need specialized knowledge and support. Dedicated people make all the difference.

Specifically, it helps to work with people who focus on customers, deploy new technologies, create innovative solutions, believe in lifelong learning, and move with agility. It's also good to work with people who have a stake in what they do.

These are the values that support the Walman Optical family of businesses.
