Tek Pak is proud of the progress we continue to make with our strategic employee and vendor diversity programs—and will continue working on new initiatives to expand diversity, equity, inclusivity, and accessibility (DEIA) programs across our five facilities in the Fox Valley region. As of August 2022, Tek Pak has built a robust, diversified workforce with over 59 percent of our employees representing a diverse array of backgrounds and ethnicity. We currently employ more than 120 workers across five locations in the Kane County area; most employees have been with the company for more than twenty years. More than half of the workforce is Hispanic and the company maintains a bilingual human resources department. The workforce also includes Native American, African American, and Asian personnel; women make up roughly 30% of Tek Pak’s employees.

In addition to employee diversity, Tek Pak is proud of our innovative vendor diversity program as we continue to expand the diversity of our vendor relationships. With our Diversity 2025 Vendor Project, Tek Pak aims to build a more diverse, resilient, and responsible supply chain vendor base to include 15 percent or more diversity-compliant suppliers from underserved communities, bringing us in line with leading Fortune 500 companies by 2025. Diversity and inclusion are at the core of Tek Pak’s long-held values of respect for all people; our commitment to DEI is not only a demonstration of our pledge towards social responsibility but also a factor in achieving our corporate goals. We are honored to have our work recognized by the Daily Herald as a leading organization in this area across Chicagoland.
