On Friday, August 21, a crowd of 80 individuals in Carmel gathered together for their weekly Rotary Club meeting. Curtiss Quirin, Chief Operating Officer of Crossroads Industrial Services, was invited to speak about manufacturing solutions offered by our company.
Since joining Crossroads Industrial Services in 2009, Quirin has presented to multiple groups to discuss the importance of making a difference in the lives of individuals with disabilities, special needs or challenges while also helping them understand how Crossroads Industrial Services can impact their bottom line.
From polystyrene recycling to contract manufacturing, Quirin outlined the major operations of the facility in a way that anyone could relate to, even those without advanced manufacturing or technical degrees. Crossroads Document Services, for example, can be used by any business who relies on paper for keeping track of important information, no matter how big or small they may be.
ZOO Fans employs Crossroads Industrial Services to manufacture their product, which is sold to large grocery store chains to be used in the freezer and refrigerated sections. The ZOO Fans help circulate warm air into the chilly areas, allowing people to shop comfortably and for a longer period of time.
Crossroads Document Services prepares small and large files for scanning. This operation employs individuals who may be have ambulatory challenges and require sitting, or those with autism who enjoy repetitive tasks.
Two trailer loads of polystyrene are recycled every day at Crossroads Industrial Services. Last year, two tons of polystyrene material was recycled.
At the end of the presentation, at least a dozen hands popped into the air to ask questions about how products are manufactured, where staff is recruited from, and how their business could work with Crossroads Industrial Services. In addition, State Representative Donna Schaibley of District 24 connected with Quirin to arrange a site visit with her and her team. Schaibley’s visit falls in line with our Calls to Congress initiatives where we are inviting our elected officials to tour the facility and learn more about our available resources.
Quoted from Schaibley’s Facebook page: “I attended the Carmel Rotary meeting yesterday and met Curtiss Quirin of Crossroads Industrial Services who spoke at the meeting. Crossroads employs many disabled members of our community doing contract manufacturing and document scanning, matching a persons individual skills to positions.”
