Ergon was incorporated on July 1, 1970, bringing the family of companies we’ve developed since 1954 and beyond under one organization. As we celebrate the 53rd year of operating as One Ergon: United by Service, Driven by Solutions, Ergon President and CEO Kris Patrick reflects on the values that drive Ergon’s success.

There is much excitement in the air surrounding all the opportunities that lie ahead for the Ergon organization. We are investing in innovation, in new avenues to provide the products our customers need to succeed and in the Ergon family of employees through education, training, growing our workforce and being intentional about safety every day.
With all of this exciting change, one thing that will remain consistent is who we are. Ergon is driven by our core values of Empowered Service, Selfless Leadership, Purposeful Growth and Respectful Relationships. We do things differently, and we do things right. We like to call it The Ergon Way.
We Want the Best for our Customers
We prioritize our customers. It is our goal to ensure they have competitive advantages, and that starts with attentiveness and genuine care for their well-being. Ergon customers are part of our family, and like family, we want what’s best for them.
Our Frontline Employees Are the Heart of Ergon
Customer success starts with employee success. Ergon’s frontline employees play a critical role in keeping Ergon moving forward. Leaders across our family of companies are committed to serving and setting our dedicated workforce up for success, enabling them to serve our customers to the best of their ability while achieving purposeful personal growth as well.
Our Legacy of Selfless Leadership and Service Remains Strong
We will never forget the strong legacy that Ergon Founder, Mr. Lampton, and his sons, Leslie, Lee, Bill and Robert, established for Ergon through their authentic and selfless leadership style. We are thankful for their leadership and their reinvestments back into the company and our people. What we do as a business is the direct result of the Lampton family’s continued support. They have provided the foundation and the blueprint that we will carry on for future generations.
As we continue to expand our horizons as an organization, our mission remains the same: meet needs, support families and serve our great customers. That’s who we are and who we will always be.
That’s the Ergon Way.
