Congratulations to VIA Member Diamond Envelope Corporation! This was a big week for them. The City of Aurora recognized them with a special day in their honor - October 16th is now Diamond Envelope Day! This year Diamond celebrates 40 years in business. The custom envelope manufacturer ALSO just received the prestigious OSHA SHARP Award (Safety and Health Achievement Recognition Program) for excellence in Safety. To celebrate, the group enjoyed a plant-wide luncheon with food trucks, music and ribbon cutting! Congratulations, we are so proud to have you in our VIA family.

Yesterday, Flexco opened their doors to VIA members to host everyone on a factory tour of their Downers Grove facility. Members got to learn all about Flexco's latest belt technology and see the behind the scenes action on the tour. We were so impressed by Flexco's company work culture and commitment to bettering the future. Flexco is the 2024 winner of two Spark Awards in the categories of Workforce Development and Culture. They were also the 2024 winner of The Spark Award. Flexco is also a GCAMP Circle of Champions Executive level sponsor. We are impressed by Flexco's accomplishments and grateful for their support! Thank you Flexco for welcoming us yesterday! #via #manufacturing #tours #mfgmonth #workforcedevelopment #culture
