Case study: ASTOR - systemy własności pracowniczej. Myśl i działaj jak właściciel!

ASTOR is a Polish family-owned company operating in the Industry 4.0 market. The organization provides solutions in automation, robotics, industrial software, and intralogistics. When one of the company's principal owners wanted to sell his shares in 2016, the management board faced a difficult task. Where to obtain the funds to buy them back at a time when the company was undergoing a significant capital investment phase? Go public? Look for an investor? Apply for a loan? Employee share ownership proved to be the answer. This solution not only allows for the acquisition of investment capital but also supports company growth and strengthens the organizational culture. And what was its implementation like? This case study illustrates the journey ASTOR took, from company and share valuation, through developing shareholder assumptions, to the very tangible results of implementing employee share ownership.
