founded in 2019 with a mission to be a force for good in Spencer, Indiana.

jobs are about more than paychecks, and companies are about more than making money for their owners. We see well-run, triple bottom line, private companies as forces for good in their communities and sources of fulfillment for their employees.

We practice open-book management. We educate everyone in the company on our business, we empower them to make decisions, and we share the gains widely. Through transparency we build trust, and with trust we unleash the creativity and dedication of everyone at Mader Mill.
