Our associates understand that the company’s success is directly tied to the well-being of the communities in which they operate and serve. We may be situated in the heart of rural Wisconsin, but our social responsibility and community outreach not only extend far beyond the town, but also beyond the state. As we have grown over the years, so has our ability to support the causes and organizations that are near and dear to the hearts of associates, their families, product resellers, and end users. Community support and stewardship activities have presented many benefits including team building and talent attraction, higher employee morale and improved collaboration, relationship building, and much more.
Gamber-Johnson is also proud to support our team members by matching employee charitable contributions of $25 or more to a maximum of $500 per employee, per calendar year. Through this program, we proudly support the charitable organizations most near and dear to our team member’s hearts.
COMMUNITY SUPPORT
Expanding on its commitment to the partners and industries it serves, Gamber-Johnson employees are also encouraged to donate their time and talents to many area organizations and causes. Additionally, the company frequently donates and sponsors several events throughout the year. The beneficiaries of these contributions include a focus on those impacted by Gamber-Johnson’s products including causes that support first responders and their families. In the tragic event of a fallen police officer or firefighter nationwide, the company makes a contribution to the Concerns of Police Survivors (C.O.P.S.) or the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation. Overall, we have contributed $55,600 to support emergency responders since 2017.

HEAVY METAL TOUR
Every year we open our doors to more than 200 area middle school students during the “Heavy Metal Tour” which takes place in recognition of Wisconsin Manufacturing Month. In an effort to address the expected workforce and skilled labor shortage, the event is in partnership with technical colleges from across the state of Wisconsin and gives students the opportunity to explore cross-sectional career pathways in manufacturing.
Our team members welcome the opportunity to introduce the company’s innovative manufacturing processes to students and express the value and benefits a career in manufacturing can offer.
STEM EDUCATION
We are committed to continuing and expanding its support of local schools and community STEM programs. As a supporter of STEM (an approach to learning that uses Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics), students are encouraged to engage in hands-on workshops, both at manufacturing sites and in the classroom, to learn about the many career paths available with an education in STEM. In addition, we are also proud to sponsor the Stevens Point Senior High School STEM team which competes throughout the state.
