“I love Southwest Creations because it is a win-win business for US manufacturers. The manufacturing jobs generated by Southwest Creations improve our economy and the dignified work environment empowers our employees both economically and educationally. The on-site childcare is an amazing benefit and Hacia La Universidad is a model program which assists employees and their families in achieving their educational goals.
I’m thrilled to be a part of a business that is a role model for operating a socially responsible manufacturing company.”
