Exodus Global Honored as Outstanding Business of the Year by Superior Chamber

We are proud to announce that Exodus Global has been named the 2025 Outstanding Business of the Year by the Superior-Douglas County Area Chamber of Commerce. This prestigious recognition was awarded at the Chamber’s 71st Annual Meeting and Business Awards held on April 10, 2025, at the Yellowjacket Union on the University of Wisconsin-Superior campus.
The Outstanding Business of the Year Award honors a local company that demonstrates exceptional organizational performance, integrity, employee support, community engagement, safety, and leadership—and we are deeply honored to be recognized in these categories.
A Culture of Excellence, Grounded in Core Values
At Exodus Global, our mission has always been about more than just manufacturing industry-leading products. We strive to make a lasting difference in the lives of our employees, customers, and the Superior community. At the heart of our business are our core values:
- Care – for our team, customers, and community.
- On-It Attitude – taking initiative and following through.
- Doing the Right Thing – acting with integrity, always.
- Fun – creating an environment where people love coming to work.
These values guide everything we do across our five brands: ShearCore, BladeCore, Connect Work Tools, RockZone Americas, and OilQuick Americas.
Investing in People, Community, and Innovation
Since 2021, we’ve expanded operations to Texas and Pennsylvania, while keeping our headquarters firmly rooted in Superior, Wisconsin. We’ve added 27,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space and made significant investments to bring the production of the OilQuick automatic quick coupler system to Superior. These efforts not only support our rapid growth but also create skilled jobs and strengthen our community.
Our commitment to our employees sets us apart. From weekly FIKA Thursday breakfasts to community event participation, we create a culture of connection and support. Our Premier Employee Task Force focuses on recruitment, retention, and community involvement—fostering a workplace where everyone feels valued.
Leading with Integrity and Vision
Leadership at Exodus Global means more than driving results—it means building a company where people and principles matter. CEO Kevin Boreen brings a thoughtful, forward-thinking approach, and our ownership, Murray Johnson, leads with a hands-on, people-first philosophy.
We’ve adopted the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) to streamline processes and stay aligned with our vision, empowering us to make strategic decisions while staying true to our values.
Safety, Service, and Strategic Growth
We’re committed to maintaining a safe and clean work environment, thanks to our dedicated Safety Manager and Safety Committee. Our investments in robotic welding, CNC machinery, and customer-driven product innovation have allowed us to improve efficiency and respond to customer needs with agility.
Our OilQuick automatic quick coupler system, which enables attachment changes from the cab, continues to revolutionize safety and productivity across scrap recycling, demolition, and construction industries.
A Shared Celebration
We share this award with our employees, customers, and community partners who make our continued success possible. From maintaining local ballfields to supporting manufacturing education, Exodus Global is proud to give back to the Superior area.
Receiving the Outstanding Business of the Year Award affirms our belief that when you prioritize people, values, and community—success follows.
Thank you to the Superior-Douglas County Area Chamber of Commerce for this incredible honor. We’re excited for what the future holds and remain committed to building a stronger company, industry, and community—together.
Exodus Global is an American Owned, family company that manufactures and distributes attachments for the scrap recycling, construction and demolition industries. Our distinguished brands include BladeCore, Connect Work Tools, OilQuick Americas, RockZone Americas, and ShearCore.
