OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. - October 6, 2025 - Stolz Telecom, a mission-critical communications integrator serving public safety, utilities, and enterprise customers across the South-Central U.S., announced today that it will become a 100% employee-owned company effective January 1, 2026 through the establishment of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

“Transitioning Stolz Telecom to full employee ownership is the natural next step in our company’s evolution,” said Robert A. Stolz, ENP, President of Stolz Telecom. “This ensures our employees directly share in the success they help create every day, while safeguarding the independence, integrity, and customer-first focus that have always defined our company.”

Leadership Continuity

Founders Robert and Rachel Stolz will remain in their current leadership roles and will both join the company’s Board of Directors, ensuring consistent vision, values, and strategic direction as Stolz Telecom enters this new era of employee ownership. Their continued involvement provides a steady foundation for customers, employees, and partners alike.

What Employee Ownership Means

• No change for customers: All operations, contracts, and points of contact remain the same.

• Long-term stability: Employee ownership promotes continuity, talent retention, and reinvestment in innovation.

• Shared success: Eligible employees will receive ownership benefits through the ESOP at no personal cost, aligning everyone toward Stolz Telecom’s mission of service excellence.

“This structure rewards the people who make Stolz Telecom what it is,” added Stolz. “Employee ownership deepens our commitment to our customers and our communities.”
