Intralox is the No. 1 large Top Workplace in 2024, awarded by The Baltimore Sun. The New Orleans-based firm makes conveyor belt products and equipment for automotive, food, consumer goods and industrial industries. Company officials say they strive to uphold founder James Martial “J.M.” Lapeyre's belief that workers, and their ideas, are the company's biggest asset. Rather than promoting workers only up a corporate ladder, Intralox looks for alternate career paths to match an employee's skills and interests with company needs. That has meant career moves between divisions such as commercial sales and operations or assembly technicians being promoted to mechanical engineering teams. The company offers benefits such as an on-site gymnasium and health and wellness clinics, and financial incentives like profit-sharing and production-sharing.
