Curated by: Gert Jan Wolf - Editor-in Chief for The Critical Communications Review

Stolz Telecom, aprovider of mission-critical communications solutions, serving public safety agencies, utilities, and enterprises throughout the southern United States, has announced that it will become a 100% employee-owned company effective January 1, 2026, marking a significant milestone in the company’s history.

The transition will take place through the establishment of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), ensuring that every team member holds a direct stake in the organization’s continued success.

This strategic move underscores Stolz Telecom’s longstanding values of integrity, service, and community commitment. By empowering employees through ownership, the company aims to further strengthen its foundation of trust and stability while reinforcing its dedication to delivering reliable, mission-critical communications solutions for customers across Oklahoma, Texas, and beyond.

Founders Robert and Rachel Stolz will continue to play key roles within the organization, maintaining their leadership positions and joining the Board of Directors. Their ongoing involvement will provide continuity and guidance as Stolz Telecom enters this new phase of growth and employee engagement.

The transition to employee ownership marks the beginning of a new chapter for Stolz Telecom—one where collaboration, accountability, and shared success drive the company forward. With every employee now an owner, Stolz Telecom reaffirms its commitment to its customers, partners, and the communities it serves.
