Employee-Owned Company
ChillCo began its journey to full employee ownership in 2010. In December 2013, we were proud to announce that our journey was complete: ChillCo became 100% Employee-Owned and Operated! This extends our solid foundation of financial stability, management continuity and incentivised ownership to all of our employees through annual stock contributions made to the Employee Stock Ownership plan.
With full employee ownership, ChillCo is better positioned to achieve our corporate goals:
- The employer of choice that continually attracts, develops and retains the best people in our industry.
- A winning business strategy founded upon world-class teamwork continually delivering superior performance.
- Industry-leading customer satisfaction that produces a sustained competitive advantage.
ChillCo's Employee Ownership Philosophy
- Increasing Participation: Employees have the opportunity to actively create and then share in the success of the company through ownership.
- Tightening Alignment: Company-wide ownership, coupled with transparent, open-book management, links our employees to our twin financial objectives of continued expansion through profitable growth and competitive financial returns.
- Strengthening Prosperity: ChillCo's enterprise value is now explicitly dependent upon the actions of all employees.

Our ESOP Story
ChillCo was founded in a small office space in 1996. What began as an incredibly small, three-person operation has grown into a leading industrial and commercial cooling services provider with four locations across the Gulf South. The company's three founders reached a pivotal moment in 2010 and chose to transition ChillCo to an employee-ownership model rather than pursuing a traditional sale to an outside buyer.
That transition to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) provided the founders with a fair and thoughtful exit strategy while preserving the culture, independence, and values they had built into the company. It allowed them to gradually step back, develop the next generation of leadership, and ensure the company remained in the hands of people who understood its mission, customers, and vision. The decision reflected a commitment not just to financial success, but to stewardship and legacy.
For employees, becoming owners fundamentally changed the relationship with the company. Team members began earning equity in a business where their daily efforts directly influence performance and value. As ChillCo has expanded across the Gulf South (offices in Lacombe, Baton Rouge, Mobile and Beaumont), the employee-owners have shared that growth in building personal wealth, while contributing to the long-term strength of the company they help run every day.
Today, ChillCo operates with a true culture of ownership. With more than 100 employee-owners, collaboration is stronger, and success is broadly shared. Transitioning to an ESOP ensured that the value created over decades benefits not only those who founded the company, but also the employees who continue to grow it into the future.
