Lazer Logistics, Inc. (“Lazer Logistics”), the leading provider of outsourced, end-to-end yard management services in North America, is thrilled to announce the launch of the Lazer Employee Ownership Program (or the “program”), a groundbreaking initiative designed to empower employees and link their contributions to the company’s future success. Developed in collaboration with the Lazer Logistics Board of Directors and EQT, a purpose-driven global investment organization and Lazer’s private equity partner, the program reflects a shared commitment to rewarding the hard work and dedication of the company’s workforce.
