IFB Solutions (formerly Winston-Salem Industries for the Blind) is an incredibly diverse organization. Our nearly 1,000 total employees hail from all parts of the United States and from around the world. They represent every race, gender, orientation, religion, age and level of sight. This diversity brings a multitude of approaches and ideas to solving the challenges of our customers. Our manufacturing operations are centered in Winston-Salem, NC, Asheville, NC and Little Rock, AR.IFB Solutions manufactures prescription eye wear for veterans through VA hospitals in locations ranging from Buffalo to Orlando to Montgomery. An enormous assortment of products are supplied to military and federal customers through www.bscsource.com and through physical AbilityOne Base Supply Center stores in locations ranging from Rock Island, IL to Washington, DC to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Our mattresses are in aircraft carriers and submarines around the world, and when members of our armed forces shop at one of the over 250 commissaries worldwide, they buy our products, likely while wearing apparel we manufactured. And our call center staff process queries for clients including Sutherland Global and the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. These diverse operations are united by a common mission: employment, training and services for people who are blind or visually impaired. If it has to do with the way it looks or what it says, it's in the purview of the team I lead. I don’t take for granted the privilege of serving IFB and all of its lines of business, subsidiaries, programs and services. And it motivates me to know that if I work hard and lead well, I can help our mission grow.
