Malco Tools, one of the nation’s pioneering solution developers and manufacturers of high-quality tools for the HVAC and building construction trades, announces it has been recognized by the Star Tribune as a Top Workplace, ranking #70 among midsized companies in Minnesota.

This marks the second consecutive year and fourth time overall that Malco has received this distinction.

Top Workplaces

Top Workplaces recognizes pioneering companies in Minnesota based on employee opinions measuring engagement, organizational health, and satisfaction. The analysis included responses from employees at Minnesota public, private, and nonprofit organizations.

At Malco, we believe that a strong culture drives strong performance,” said Kirk Langbehn, Vice President of People Operations at The Malco Group, adding “This recognition reflects the passion and pride our team brings to work every day — and reinforces our commitment to creating a workplace where our people feel empowered, appreciated, and supported.”

Malco’s core cultural values

Malco’s culture is built on its core values and commitment to its people. Through various engagement, recognition, and community initiatives — such as the company’s “Look Good, Feel Good, Do Good” campaign — Malco invests in its team and culture to build a thriving, high-performing organization.

Additionally, The Malco Group places a high value on giving back to their local communities and has donated thousands of dollars and contributed countless hours of volunteer time to organizations that are meaningful to the team. This honor adds to a growing list of accolades for Malco, including the 2025 USA TODAY Top Workplaces award and the Minneapolis/St. Paul Business Journal’s 2024 Medium Manufacturer of the Year.
