Murray Glauberman Headshot

Malco Products, Inc. founder Murray Glauberman dedicated his life to his business, industry, and his community. He instilled a strong foundation of hard work, partnership, community engagement, and service at Malco that continues to be valued today.

Today, we stand as a small but mighty team that works together to support various organizations within our community and the automotive industry.

 

Malco Community Involvement

At Malco, we understand that it feels good to do good, and we encourage our employees to help in our community daily. To support community engagement, Malco offers employees a variety of volunteer opportunities throughout the year. We also maintain an open-door policy for employees to bring new volunteer opportunities to our attention and request donations for organizations they are passionate about.

As a company, we invest our dollars, time, and voice to make the greatest impact possible for our community. In 2021, Malco was selected by Smart Business Magazine and Medical Mutual as a Pillar Award Honoree for outstanding contributions to the Northeast Ohio community. During the 2021 calendar year, Malco and our employees contributed money, time, or voice to more than 30 charitable organizations in the Northeast Ohio community. A few examples of the organizations near and dear to our hearts include:
