Benefit Plans and Collective Bargaining Agreements | Benefit Plans and Collective Bargaining Agreements The Company has a 401(k) Employee Stock Ownership Plan (the "401(k)/ESOP Plan") covering all non-union employees. Employees could contribute to the 401(k)/ESOP Plan up to 100 percent of their wages with a maximum of $19,500 for 2020. Under the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, employees who are age 50 or older could contribute an additional $6,500 per year for a maximum of $26,000 for 2020. Contributions by the employees are invested in one or more funds at the direction of the employee; however, employee contributions cannot be invested in Company stock. For the year ended December 31, 2015, contributions by the Company were made in cash and then used by the 401(k)/ESOP Plan Trustee to purchase Company stock. Effective January 1, 2016, contributions by the Company are made in accordance with the investment elections made by each participant for his or her deferral contributions. The Company contributes on behalf of each eligible participant a matching contribution equal to a percentage determined each year by the Board of Directors. For 2020 and 2019 the maximum was 100 percent of employee contributions up to a maximum of four percent of their eligible compensation. The matching contribution is applied to the employee accounts after each payroll. Matching contributions of approximately $0.4 million and $0.8 million were made for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The Company may also make a discretionary contribution, which if made, would be distributed to all eligible participants regardless of whether they contribute to the 401(k)/ESOP Plan. No discretionary contributions were made to the 401(k)/ESOP Plan in 2020 or 2019.
The Company also has a 401(k) and Profit Sharing Plan (the "Bristol Plan") covering all employees as part of the United Steel Workers of America, Local Union 4586 Collective Bargaining Agreement (the "Bristol CBA"). Employees could contribute to the Bristol Plan up to 60 percent of pretax annual compensation, as defined in the Bristol Plan, with a maximum of $19,500 for 2020. Under the Economic Growth and Tax Relief Reconciliation Act, employees who are age 50 or older could contribute an additional $6,500 per year for a maximum of $26,000 for 2020. During 2020, the Company contributed three percent of a participant's eligible compensation from January to July and increased this amount to four percent for the remainder of the plan year, regardless of whether the participants contribute to the Bristol Plan. The Company's contributions were $0.2 million for 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additional profit sharing amounts may also be contributed at the option of the Company's Board of Directors, which if made, would be allocated to participants based on the ratio of the participant's compensation to the total compensation of all participants eligible to participate in the Bristol Plan. No discretionary contributions were made to the Bristol Plan in 2020 or 2019.
The Company maintains a Collective Bargaining Agreement (the "Munhall CBA") with the United Steel Workers of America, Local Union 5852-22 (the "Munhall Union"), which represents the employees at the Munhall facility. As a part of this Munhall CBA, the Company assumed the obligation of participating in the Steelworkers Pension Trust, a union-sponsored multi-employer defined benefit plan (the "Munhall Plan"), which covers all the Company's eligible Munhall Union employees. The Munhall Plan has a calendar plan year. Per the most recent available annual funding notice, the plan was at least 84 percent funded for the plan year ended December 31, 2019. Per the terms of the Munhall CBA the Company contributes 4.25 percent of each participant's eligible compensation for the 2020 plan year. Munhall Union employees make no contributions to the Munhall Plan. The Company's contributions are less than five percent of total contributions to the plan based on contributions for the plan year ended December 31, 2019. The Company's contributions to the Munhall Plan totaled $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additionally, as part of the Munhall CBA, members of the union are eligible to make deferral contributions to the Company's 401(k)/ESOP Plan per the plan guidelines; however they do not receive matching contributions of the 401(k)/ESOP Plan.
The Company also maintains a Collective Bargaining Agreement ( the "Mineral Ridge CBA") with the United Steel Workers of America, Local Union 4564-07, which represents employees at the Specialty-Mineral Ridge facility. In connection with the Mineral Ridge CBA, the Company contributes to union-sponsored defined contribution retirement plans. Contributions relating to these plans were $29,851 and $28,469 for 2020 and 2019, respectively.
