Manpower celebrates 60th anniversary by ringing closing bell

By Jim Butman

Milwaukee-based Manpower Inc. has had only three chief executive officers in its history, and the three of them will ring The Closing Bell at the New York Stock Exchange later today.

The Manpower CEOs will be celebrating the company's 60th anniversary today.

Manpower achieved the milestone under the direction of co-founder Elmer Winter, Mitchell Fromstein and Jeff Joerres, who has been CEO since 1999 and chairman since 2001. They have steered Manpower to its current position as a $21 billion global employment services corporation.

"The workplace has unequivocally changed over the years since we opened our doors in 1948, but our mission has always remained the same," Joerres said. "Connecting people with meaningful work, while helping organizations find the talent they need is what we do. Manpower's ability to navigate the constant shifts in the world of work gives us the agility required to be a resilient and reliable partner for our clients and candidates."
