“One reason we selected The Graham Company was the insurance benefits. The company pays 90 percent to 100 percent of the premiums for employees and dependants, and they fund the health savings account completely. We were quite impressed with that benefit. Another thing that impressed us was the retirement plan and the 10 percent match coupled with a profit sharing plan, which is extremely generous.”
