R.L. Deppmann has been named a Top Workplace by The Detroit Free Press for the seventh year in a row!
We are grateful to have received this continued recognition that highlights our commitment to creating an environment where our team members thrive.
The Top Workplaces Award is based on anonymous, third-party surveys from our employees. Their feedback speaks volumes about the strong workplace culture we’ve built here at Deppmann, centered around our core values of knowledge, responsiveness, and empowerment. We are proud that our employees feel aligned with our mission to help customers make better decisions.
“It’s important for me to feel valued and recognized in the workplace, and I definitely feel that here at R.L. Deppmann. Anytime I work with any staff member here, I always feel like they appreciate what I’m doing.” – Michael Shereda, End User Technology Specialist
A Culture That Drives Success
At R.L. Deppmann, we understand that an exceptional workplace culture doesn’t just benefit our team — it benefits our customers, partners, and the industry at large. Our people-first approach ensures that every team member is empowered to deliver outstanding service and innovative solutions. As a 100% employee-owned company, each individual shares in our success and plays a role in shaping our future.
“I came from a family-owned company, but it certainly didn’t have that feel. Here, we’re all owners. It’s an employee-owned company. Everyone has built this thing from the ground up based on our core values.” – Chris Durfee, Customer Service Manager
The foundation for our core values dates all the way back to 1927 when Ray Deppmann founded the R.L. Deppmann Company. Ray and his team believed the company should be more than just another supplier. He believed the company should help customers make better decisions. This focus on partnering with customers to provide the best solution continues today.
