EBSCO Industries, Inc.

We are a diverse, global company with a wide range of businesses, from information services and outdoor products to manufacturing, real estate, and more. Founded in 1944 by Elton B. Stephens Sr., EBSCO (an acronym for Elton B. Stephens Company) began as a small venture selling magazine subscriptions, personalized binders, and magazine racks to the U.S. Armed Forces. Over the decades, we've grown significantly, acquiring various companies and expanding into new industries. Today, we're proud to be one of the largest privately held companies in Alabama and a top 200 private company in the United States, based on revenues and employee numbers.

Our core values drive our entrepreneurial spirit and our commitment to creating positive results for our team members, our customers, and the communities where we operate. We believe in excellence in everything we do, whether it's manufacturing fishing lures and standing desks or providing leading discovery services and databases for libraries worldwide. We are passionate about our people and our businesses succeeding together. We foster a work environment where talented individuals can flourish, honoring our commitments, challenging the status quo, and continuously seeking improvement. Our multifaceted investment strategy focuses on long-term structural trends, and we partner with exceptional management teams to support their vision and growth. We're not just about building great companies; we're about building lasting relationships and making a positive impact.
