Workwell Industries

Workwell Industries Providing opportunities to individuals with disabilities and employment barriers, while being the vendor of choice in the markets we serve.

Workwell Industries specializes in co-packaging and sub-assembly for companies that outsource work. Established in 1979, the original focus was center-based Employment Center for the intellectually and physically disabled. In 1981, a company was formed by parents of the Council of Mental Retardation naming it “Custom Manufacturing Services.”

Over time, the focus changed from a sheltered workshop

to a normalized, yet supportive, work environment. Employees who have disabilities are given opportunities to grow in their jobs roles and learn transferable skills. In 1996, the company name changed to “Custom Quality Services” to de-emphasize the focus on manufacturing and to represent our commitment to quality work and excellence in customer service. In 2016 the company changed its name to Workwell Industries to focus on remaining an innovative, forward-thinking fulfillment industry expert recognized worldwide. Our mission has evolved and broadened to include those who are most affected by the cycles of poverty prevalent in the immediate vicinity of the Workwell facility, including refugees, veterans, and any other individual of lower socioeconomic status.

Why Portland? Because community isn't just where we work - it's why we work.

For decades, Workwell Industries has proudly called Louisville's Portland neighborhood home. As the area's largest employer, we've chosen to invest in the people, businesses, and future of the West End because we believe opportunity should start where it's needed most.

Every job we create, every partnership we build, and every life we impact is part of a bigger commitment to helping our community grow stronger together.

We're not just located in Portland. We're proud to be part of it!

Sometimes opportunity starts with something as simple as having what you need.

What began with one employee asking Miss Tammy for an extra shirt has grown into DressWELL - our onsite boutique that helps Workwell employees and their families access clothing, shoes, coats, interview outfits, school items, and everyday essentials.

Thanks to Tammy’s heart and initiative, DressWELL is more than a closet. It’s a way to help people feel prepared, supported, and confident as they take their next step.

Because confidence opens doors, and one YES Changes Everything.
