Our People

Hemlock employs over 240 craftspeople. We are extremely proud to have a low turnover rate, in fact, 45% of our team members have been with the company for over 10 years and 15% have been with the company for over 20 years. Many of our talented press operators started working at Hemlock immediately after high school and have grown with the company to become highly skilled professionals, committed to their craft and to Hemlock’s ideal of Integrity in Colour.

The loyalty and dedication of our employees can be attributed to the way the company regards its human capital. A component of our mission statement is: “To encourage all employees to learn and develop and to provide the opportunity to reach personal career objectives, in an environment that inspires team spirit, high achievement and continuous improvement.” Hemlock employees are encouraged and supported in pursuing their education. Many staff are involved in industry associations and technical groups that study and communicate changes in the industry’s technologies.

We’re very proud to be a privately owned, family-run company with 40 years of history. We foster an open and friendly environment where we recognize that each member of the team is an integral part of the big picture. We have many two-generation families and married couples as part of the Hemlock team – we feel that’s an important part of our corporate culture.
