Employee Owned
Schmitty & Sons is proud to be employee owned! In 2016, Schmitty & Sons became an ESOP (employee stock ownership plan). The ESOP is a benefit to our employees by giving workers ownership interest in the company. Our employees determine our success and growth as a company, so it is only natural that our employees get to reap the benefits of that success!
Over 300 Buses
Since 1952 the Schmitty and Sons fleet has expanded from one bus to over 300 buses today, including school buses, mid-coaches, and motorcoaches.
Employee-Owned
Since 2016 the Schmitty and Sons has been an employee-owned enterprise, which means everyone has a real incentive to make the business a success.
