Most of the time I have to be thinking five years down the road, and I like that futuristic approach. Five years later another expansion was under taken when WE purchased the old Buster Brown plant in Dillsboro, adding an additional 16,000 square feet to its medical device business. In 1997, the recycling plant moved to the Dillsboro facility to continue operating until 2000 when the recycling business was leased to Country Collections. Throughout the years, not only did this non-profit expand its business, but it also expanded its training programs. At Webster Enterprises, we create a protected, stress-free environment.
Workers learn punctuality and the importance of coming to work on time.
They are taught quality concepts and the importance of producing a quality product. Trainers work with clients in developing self-esteem and skills in getting along with people. WE serves an average of 88 individuals with disabilities each year. Of these, an average of 13 are placed in competitive community employment each year. Approximately 85 percent of WE's funding comes from its medical device operation.
