BTA member Datamax Inc. has been named one of Arkansas Business's Best Places to Work for 2026, marking the ninth time the company has received the distinction. Presented annually by Arkansas Business and Workforce Research Group, the Best Places to Work program identifies and honors organizations that have established exceptional workplace cultures through employee engagement, satisfaction and organizational excellence. They evaluate responses from employee surveys to asses the companies that meet the criteria to be named to the list.

For Datamax, the recognition reflects a culture shaped and strengthened by its employees over many years.

"Being recognized as one of Arkansas Business's Best Places to Work for the ninth time is an incredible honor, but the credit belongs entirely to our employees," said David Holzhauer, president, Datamax Arkansas. "Awards like this are earned through the everyday actions of people who genuinely care about one another, support our customers and live out the values that define Datamax. We are grateful for a team that continues to strengthen our culture and make Datamax a place where people want to build meaningful careers."

Datamax has long believed that a strong workplace culture is foundational to delivering exceptional customer experiences. By fostering an environment built on trust, accountability, collaboration and professional growth, the company empowers employees to succeed while making a meaningful impact on the organizations and communities it serves.

The Best Places to Work program places significant emphasis on employee perspectives, making the recognition especially meaningful to company leadership.

"What makes this recognition especially meaningful is that it reflects the voices and experiences of our employees," Holzhauer said. "The culture at Datamax was never built by a mission statement alone. Backed by our Little Blue Book core philosophies and principles, it's built every day by people who choose to collaborate, serve, grow and hold each other accountable to something bigger than themselves. We are humbled by this honor and deeply appreciative of the employees who continue to shape the kind of workplace we're proud to be part of."

Datamax remains committed to listening to employee feedback and investing in programs, opportunities and initiatives that support both personal and professional growth. The company views recognitions such as Best Places to Work not as a destination, but as a reflection of an ongoing commitment to creating an environment where employees can thrive.

Datamax provides office technology, managed print services, production print solutions, document workflow solutions and business technology services to organizations throughout Arkansas and Texas. The company's mission of "Creating Raving Fans" continues to guide its commitment to customers, employees and communities alike.
