Though our industry is fought with mergers, acquisitions, and sales, it was Midland’s vision to build an organization that stands the test of time and provides stability and longevity to our client base. In 2019 Midland proudly became employee-owned. Being employee-owned allows us to remain independent while remaining continually committed to providing stability to our customers and employee-owners.
