  • The relationship with GTI has been one of a neighbor, given we were a 20-year tenant in the 2291 Traversefield location, and one of a partner. GTI has provided valuable light assembly services during these last twenty years and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future. Venturi is proud to partner with an organization that so strongly advocates for people with disabilities. Traverse City is very fortunate to have an organization like GTI so rooted in our community.

    - Tim Dutmers, President, Venturi, Inc.

  • “The workers at GTI provide a very valuable service of pre-building all of our shipping boxes. We do not have the manpower to perform this task at our site which makes this relationship very important to us. They also come to our site monthly to provide labor for our shipments. This allows some of our internal employees to remain working at their jobs supporting over 19,000 customers."

    -Tony Hatfield, Supply Chain Manager | LGC Proficiency Testing Inc.
