Goodwill Business Partner Award


SpeedBinder is proud to have received the Business Partner Award from Goodwill Industries for February, 2006.

SpeedBinder and Goodwill have been partnering since 2005. Through their programs, SpeedBinder is able to find and train great employees to work in our production plants. Goodwill works with numerous local agencies to identify people who need employment and training opportunities. They provide them with basic employment skills training, and facilitate the interviewing and hiring process. We consider this a 100% "win-win" situation.

SpeedBinder also works with Goodwill Industries on an outsourcing basis. For example, a recent order required that 24 sheets be slipped into sheet protectors, and then each set of sheet protectors be placed into binders, with the binders poly bagged from there. All of this was for an order of 5000 binders. Goodwill was able to quickly and efficiently handle this work through their Outsource Solutions program. This is a great way that Goodwill finds productive work for people with mild developmental or physical disabilities.


SpeedBinder is proud of its relationship with Goodwill Industries! It is good for our company, and good for our customers. Goodwill helps us deliver advanced solutions at an economical price, and allows us to do so in a way that helps the community. We look forward to continuing this partnership for many years to come.
