Stellar Industries has been named a 2025 Employer of Choice by the Mason City Globe Gazette. The award recognizes Northern Iowa businesses that create positive work environments where employees feel valued and supported.
Stellar was nominated by its own employees, who cited the company’s focus on quality of life, leadership feedback, flexibility for family and personal needs, and recognition of contributions.
“We are proud to be recognized with the 2025 Employer of Choice Award,” said Dave Zrostlik, President of Stellar. “This honor reflects the dedication of our employee-owners in building a culture where people are invested, engaged, and satisfied.”
As a 100% employee-owned company, Stellar emphasizes professional and personal growth for all team members. The company’s structure allows employees to share in the success of the business, fostering long-term commitment and stability.
“The employee-owner mindset means that when Stellar succeeds, so do its people,” Zrostlik added. “That shared success helps deliver quality products while creating an environment where employees want to stay.”
