“ Sixty years really does make you pause and reflect on the path that’ s brought us here. I’ m third generation and essentially grew up in this company. I remember going to work with my dad as a kid, climbing around on dusty pallets of castings in a dim factory that maybe had 15 employees at the time. I can picture the drafting table where he and another engineer would hand-draw the designs for our new pumps. The steady rhythm of the dot-matrix printer, the typewriters used for every piece of correspondence, and the vending machine stocked with glass bottles of Coke are all etched in my memory.
“ I’ m sure few people back then could have imagined just how much our company would grow, evolve, and emerge as a top competitor in our industry by 2025. Every conversation, decision, and occasional pivot played a part. They still do. Sometimes you don’ t fully recognize the impact in the moment; it becomes clear only when you take a moment like this to look back.
“ We have deep gratitude for every person in our Liberty community, and that perspective guides a lot of our decisionmaking,” Robyn continues.“ We want our members to feel cared for, not only in how we show up for one another day to day but also through the unique benefits we offer. We really enjoy celebrating together. When we hit our goals or set new sales records, it often means food truck rodeos and extra vacation days for everyone. Beyond that, there are so many ways our culture comes to life: chili cook-offs, pie-eating contests, wellness activities, and holiday events that bring people together. We’ ve recently added a walking path and have a fitness room to support health and balance, and we have a corporate chaplain and a physical therapist available, so members have support for both their personal and physical well-being.
