Pearl Buck Center's Production Services was always well known for its processing, packaging and mailing services. But since its move to a new facility on 1st Avenue, Production Services has greatly expanded its programs and increased its production capacity.
The move prompted Production Services to bring in equipment that required a more technical skill set to operate and provided the space necessary to expand entire processes, such as woodworking and organic food packaging. The new configuration of space and process capability has expanded the spectrum of skill-level for Pearl Buck Center's clients with disabilities to apply themselves.
"Everybody has a particular skill-set within the full spectrum of ability. Our formula, regardless of who it is, is to create aides and technology and provide the proper training to enhance the skill-set," explains David Heggestad, Director of Adult and Production Services. "This way everyone becomes more productive, gets rewarded better, and can feel more fulfilled."
Production Services is now pleased to offer seven areas of production:
Processing: includes sorting, counting, weighing, labeling, packaging, pickup and delivery of products.
Packaging: box, shrink-wrap or clamshell products for delivery or shipping.
Processing Mail: folding, collating, tabbing, labeling and metering at competitive rates, from cards to parcels.
Woodshop: cut, shape, or construct a variety of wood products from rough to finished carpentry.
Metal shop: cut, grind, weld, shape and fabricate steel needs.
CNC Machine: the HAAS Series 2 vertical milling machine fabricates metals into almost any shape for almost any purpose.
Food Packaging: separate 'clean room' that is certified organic for packaging of herbs, spices and mixes.
"We take great pride in providing our customers with the highest quality products and services," says Heggestad. "We can save our customers time and money while providing a quality product at competitive prices."
Heggestad reminds us that when companies contract with Pearl Buck Center's Production Services, they contribute to the success of our more vulnerable citizens.
