Supplier Diversity
Kimball Midwest recognizes the important contributions made by small businesses to our communities and our Nation. We believe small businesses bring good capabilities and technical know-how to assist Kimball Midwest and better serve our customers.
By working together, we tap the strength of diversity. Our highly talented employees, in conjunction with our small business teammates’ professional staff, bring tremendous and extraordinary depth and breadth of technical expertise and product options to create solutions that help solve complex problems for our customers.
We Realize "Small Business is Good Business"
We know working with small businesses is more than a strategy. It’s good business for all parties and is supported at the highest levels of management. Our commitment to small businesses is built on the history of Kimball Midwest. Not long ago we were a small business. We also realize it takes the work and support of our business partners to continue to reach our goals.
