On May 8, G.B. Enterprises was recognized for 25 years of continued support as a major customer of Current Industries, Inc.

Current Industries is a Bellingham-based non-profit contract manufacturing business that employs people with developmental disabilities in a number of work situations, including wire harness assembly, packaging and distribution.

With a working relationship spanning three decades, G.B. Enterprises and Current Industries truly grew together. Our cooperation has moved people from mundane manufacturing into the high tech arena. They do a great job of providing the highest quality product in a rapid timeframe, and we are happy to incorporate their expertise.

G.B. Enterprises and Current Industries established a working partnership in 1983. This local alliance has provided over 2 million dollars in wages paid directly to adults with disabilities, allowing individuals to participate more fully within the community. These workers are earning money for rent, transportation, shopping and going out to restaurants.

One of the most gratifying experiences for me is visiting Current Industries and observing workers with disabilities overcoming many pre-conceived ideas and creating satisfaction for themselves and the whole community. By working at Current Industries, they are becoming significant contributors to their own economic independence as well as to society as a whole.
