PIPING ROCK DELIVERS WELLNESS
FROM ITS FAMILY TO YOURS
Piping Rock, a Ronkonkoma-based
health product manufacturer, puts
health and well-being at the core of its
operations — for customers and associates
alike.
The third-generation family business
has amassed more than 40 years of
knowledge and experience creating
optimal formulas for all-natural vitamins
and supplements, all with the goal
of making consumers feel happy and
healthy.
“At Piping Rock, we care and appreciate
our associates,” says Marty Sherman,
chief human resources officer. “It is their
entrepreneurial spirit and commitment
to excellence that fuels our success.”
Piping Rock’s scientists and nutritionists
hand-select raw materials and combine
them with precise ratios for the best results.
The company manufactures and
sells not only vitamins but other health
products as well, including essential
oils, herbal remedies, skin and hair
products, nuts and seeds, and sports-
and weight-related supplements such
as protein powders and keto dietary
supplements.
All products are made in-house and
sold at both Piping Rock’s storefronts
in Ronkonkoma and Farmingdale and
through the company’s website.
“With knowledgeable, personable, and
passionate sales associates, shoppers can
count on great customer service that will
personally tailor and guide all shoppers
on their wellness journey,” says Doree
Seiver, store manager in Farmingdale.
“Our products are made using the highest
quality material and are created by
us.”
Piping Rock has a team of more than 500
New York associates working hard to
help others achieve their wellness goals
— but that does not come at the expense
of their own livelihood. The company
values its associates’ health and well-being
just as much as that of its customers.
“We are committed to safety, quality,
innovation, and customer satisfaction in
everything we do,” says Sarah DuBrino,
Piping Rock’s human resources benefit
and training specialist.
Kendall Benjamin, a Piping Rock associate,
enjoys learning new skills and completing a
variety of tasks at the company.
Piping Rock associates report feeling
valued and respected, leading to more
productivity and favorable outcomes.
Associates also report feeling relaxed
and comfortable in their work
environment.
“Management cares about the health
and safety of its associates,” one associate
wrote in a feedback form. “I look
forward to what every day brings. The
company has grown in leaps and bounds
and it has been amazing to watch.”
Piping Rock Associate Cely Portillo
Majano has worked at the company for
five years. She says she loves the work
environment so much that her goal is to
take on a leadership role to help grow the
company.
“I am happy to work for a company
that provides good benefits — associate
events like Ice Cream Day, the annual
family picnic, the annual holiday party,
and turkey and barbecue packages,”
Majano says.
Another associate, Kendall Benjamin,
has worked at Piping Rock for more than
two years and enjoys the variety of tasks
he’s able to perform.
“I have had the pleasure of learning
many different jobs, from sampling to
picking, receiving, blending, and driving
the Hi-Lo forklift,” Benjamin says.
“I love being able to do all different jobs
with the amazing and helpful associates
I work with.”
Associate Maria Marte Cepin agrees that
a job at Piping Rock offers opportunities
to succeed at new things.
“The company sees my potential and is
helping me grow within the company
every day,” Cepin says. “I have learned
many skills while being here that I never
learned before.”
Overall, associates report feeling well
taken care of — like part of the family.
“I like working at Piping Rock because
of how I am treated by my supervisors,”
says Mariel Rodriguez. “I enjoy working
with everyone in the company.”
“The company sees my potential and is helping me
grow within the company every day.”
