Loyalty paid off in a big way Friday as 37 longtime employees of Little Rock-based Lexicon Inc. were honored for reaching 20 years of service with the Arkansas company.
The special recognition ceremony and luncheon was held Friday, October 16, 2026, at Lexicon’s corporate headquarters at 8900 Fourche Dam Pike in the Port of Little Rock.
Each of the 37 employees was selected to receive a $10,000 bonus, with Lexicon covering the taxes, bringing the combined value of the announced bonus checks to $370,000.
The company also recognized 3 additional employees who reached an extraordinary milestone of 35 years of service.
37 EMPLOYEES RECOGNIZED FOR 20 YEARS OF LOYALTY
The annual celebration recognized employees who have dedicated 2 decades of their careers to Lexicon.
Lexicon CEO Patrick Schueck was scheduled to personally present each 20-year honoree with a $10,000 bonus check.
Unlike many traditional employee bonus programs, Lexicon covers the associated taxes so recipients receive the full $10,000 award.
The celebration was expected to bring together nearly 400 employees, family members, and friends to recognize the workers whose dedication helped build the company’s success.
The awards luncheon began at 11 AM Friday at Lexicon’s Little Rock headquarters.
3 EMPLOYEES HONORED FOR 35 YEARS OF SERVICE
In addition to the 37 employees reaching their 20-year milestone, Lexicon recognized 3 employees who have each dedicated 35 years to the company.
Each 35-year honoree was selected to receive a commemorative steel I-beam trophy.
The I-beam symbolizes the company’s roots in steel construction and fabrication while recognizing the lasting contributions of longtime employees.
The awards highlight the importance Lexicon places on experience, dedication, and retaining its workforce.
NEARLY $5 MILLION AWARDED TO LONGTIME EMPLOYEES
The employee recognition program dates back to 2002, when Lexicon founder, the late Tom Schueck, established the company’s 20-year incentive program.
The goal was to recognize employees who made long-term commitments to the business and contributed to its continued growth.
Since the program began, Lexicon reports awarding almost $5 million to employees who reached the 20-year service milestone.
The program has become an annual tradition, recognizing the men and women who have helped build Lexicon into a major Arkansas-based construction and steel fabrication company.
LEGACY OF LEXICON FOUNDER TOM SCHUECK
The annual employee awards continue a tradition established by the company’s late founder, Tom Schueck.
Schueck believed that recognizing employee loyalty was an important part of building a successful company.
Today, his son, Patrick Schueck, serves as Lexicon’s chief executive officer and continues the tradition.
Lexicon has grown into a major construction and steel fabrication company with operations and projects extending well beyond Arkansas.
The company remains headquartered in Little Rock.
A CELEBRATION OF ARKANSAS WORKERS
Friday’s ceremony placed the spotlight on the employees who have contributed decades of service to Lexicon.
With 37 employees reaching 20 years and another 3 reaching 35 years, the company recognized a combined 40 workers for their long-term dedication.
The celebration also highlighted an unusual employee benefit: a $10,000 bonus for reaching 20 years of service, with the company covering the taxes.
For Lexicon, the annual recognition is more than a financial award. It represents appreciation for the employees whose work has helped sustain the company for generations.
