Momper Insulation Matt Momper

By Haiden Hibbert

Matt Momper didn’t always want to take over the family business that his mother and father started — but when he realized it would be the vehicle to achieving his goals and giving back to the community, he’s been all in ever since.

Now owner and CEO of Momper Insulation, Matt serves as a leader, visionary and mentor to his staff, many of whom have been with the company their entire careers. It’s a “family business” in every sense of the word — from taking care of employees financially to investing in their personal lives and developing their character. Matt’s hope is for Momper Insulation to be more than just a job for his staff, but a place to grow into a better person, as well.

“We’re trying to grow our people,” Matt stated. “It’s not just a job at Momper Insulation. We’re going to serve a need for our community. Whether it’s installing insulation or being a good person to the young man who works side by side with you to make him understand how to be a father. My big goal is to elevate our workforce to make sure they’re earning enough money — that this is more than a job.”

Under Matt’s leadership, Momper Insulation has been able to continue offering a pension plan to employees, as well as enough work to keep team members employed throughout economic hardship. In fact, Momper Insulation has had only one layoff in its 64 years of business.

He continued, “My door is open every morning until the time I leave, and any employee can come and see me. Whether it’s a work-related question or a personal issue, I’m there to help and guide them to get help.”

Matt highlighted one of Momper Installation’s major players, Gary, who has been a pivotal part of the company’s growth. Gary is the company’s Vice President of Sales and oversees other divisions within the business, cross trains employees, and works with all of the salesmen. He’s been around for more than 20 years and serves as a prime example of a fruitful career at Momper Insulation.

“Gary is 100% reliable,” Matt said about his teammate. “He is detailed and is nearly perfect on paperwork, bids and handling issues. I can count on him when I’m on vacation to lead the ship. He wears many hats.”

In addition to investing in his employees, Matt also spoke about his passion for helping the community.

“We are really big on giving back to the community. It has done so much for us, so when the opportunity comes to give back,

we usually do a big annual project for free,” he stated. “We also have NeighborLink, a service where people call in and need a favor. With our various divisions and skill sets, they will send us a list of tasks each month that need done. Our guys understand these are people that need help, and at the end of the day, our crew will stop by and take care of the need.”
