Nearly half of the companies on the Crain's Employee-Owned Companies list are manufacturers, and that's probably not a coincidence, according to Chris Cooper, director of the Ohio Employee Ownership Center at Kent State University.

The full digital list — assembled with data collected by the OEOC, the National Center for Employee Ownership and Crain's — includes 47 Northeast Ohio-based companies that have Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) and are at least 50% employee-owned.

Of those 47 companies, 20 are manufacturers. That's 43%.
