After months of planning, the new Correctional Industries Furniture Factory at Stafford Creek Corrections Center is under construction. The recent decision to close McNeil Island as a Corrections Center has brought change and opportunity to CI. While difficult and emotional to leave McNeil Island after so many successful years there, the move to Stafford Creek has allowed CI to design a new factory from the ground up. Employing lean manufacturing philosophies and a state of the art design, the new factory fully integrates all furniture manufacturing including metal products, chairs, panel systems and furniture products into one plant. Modern computer controlled equipment, environmentally friendly finishing systems and an expanded product engineering department allows CI to be efficient, flexible and customer focused.
In addition to the new furniture factory, existing vocational education programs are integrated into the design providing opportunities for offenders to learn, study and apply skills that translate into successful reentry and safer communities. CI is excited about the future for its new integrated manufacturing facility and looks forward to continue to provide its customers with high quality and competitively priced furniture products.
During the construction phase there may be some products that will be temporarily unavailable, and some discontinued; however, you can expect to find many of the products you are familiar with along with new products like the Versa Casegoods Collection. If you can't find what you're looking for, contact your Account Executive or call Customer Service.
