Employee Savings Plan 401(k)

The Lincoln Electric Company wants to help you have a financially
secure retirement.

That’s why the Company offers The Lincoln Electric Company Employee Savings Plan (the ESP 401(k) Plan) to eligible employees.

The ESP 401(k) Plan is a simple and tax-effective way to save money for your retirement. Under the ESP 401(k) Plan, you have an account that grows with contributions and earnings. When you retire, the money in your account is available to fund your retirement needs.

Here’s How It Works

You can save your own money without paying taxes on your savings (until you’re ready to use the money). Making these contributions lowers your taxable income each year, which means you pay less in taxes. You can also choose to make Roth (after tax) contributions.
As a participant in the ESP 401(k), if you are contributing, you will also receive employer matching contributions that will assist you in growing your account.
You select how your savings are invested. The Company offers numerous professionally-managed investment options from which you can choose, so you can invest your money in a diverse portfolio. Plus, the earnings in your account are also tax-free until you actually receive a distribution.
