TEN-E Company Overview In 1980, the founder of TEN-E Packaging Services, Inc. anticipated changes coming to governmental standards on the requirements for transporting hazardous material packages related to the chemical industry. The business started in 1989 with revenue of $300,000 the first year. After 35 years in business, the company owns and operates testing laboratories in three locations; Newport MN, Ontario CA, and High Point NC with annual revenue of $8-10 million. The current team of just over 50 employees conducts package and product tests for the chemical, medical, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, cosmetic and electronic industries. TEN-E not only tests for companies in the US but also has several international customers. Companies that want to ship their products from Point A to Point B without damage simulate that process at TEN-E and solve issues early. In 2009, the partners started an ESOP (Employee Stock Option Plan) and sold 1/3 of the business to the employees as pension contributions. In 2021, the last 2/3 of the stock was sold and the company is now 100% owned by the employees. The founding partners knew what an effective team they had built and what better way to continue the prosperity of the business than to leave it in the capable hands of the employees.
