Our Spokane Facility Celebrates 15 Years!
This year we celebrated the 15-year anniversary of opening our first satellite manufacturing facility, located in Spokane, Washington.
When we opened our doors in 2008, we employed ten people who are blind and visually impaired. By fiscal year 2023 employment opportunities had grown to 50 employees who are blind or visually impaired.
We doubled the manufacturing facility from 45,000 to 95,000 square feet. Within that time, creating more space to expand production and overall operations. In June of 2020, we celebrated the milestone of one million wallboards produced for our Federal Government customers through the AbilityOne Program, all manufactured in Spokane.
