ELKRIDGE, MD, UNITED STATES, August 18, 2025 - Lentech announces the successful completion of its transition to a 100% employee-owned company under an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The transaction, finalized in July 2025, represents a significant milestone in the company's commitment to its workforce and long-term sustainability.

This strategic move enables Lentech employees to benefit directly from the company's growth and success, fostering a deeper alignment between individual contributions and organizational performance. As an ESOP, Lentech critically preserves its Employee-Focused Culture and their core values of integrity, excellence, and employee empowerment, ensuring that decision-making remains centered on the well-being and professional development of its team members.
