Image360-Woodbury Earns National Certifications

Local signage, graphic, print, display and promotional products business, Image360 Woodbury recently received national certifications as a Women’s Business Enterprise and as a Woman Owned Small Business by the Women's Business Development Center (WBDC), a regional certifying partner of the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC).

“We’re thrilled to receive our WBE and WOSB certifications,” said Image360 owner and Chair of the Woodbury Economic Development Commission Gina Kazmerski. “It’s a true honor to be recognized among some of the largest brands in the country like 3M, Medtronic, Best Buy and SuperValu as well as the Federal Government who work with suppliers with this same designations. Our dedication to small and mid-size, local businesses in conjunction with these large brands fits perfectly with our collaborative approach to partnering with clients.”

WBENC’s national standard of certification is a meticulous process consisting of a site inspection along with an in-depth review of the business that included management structure and evidence of contribution of capital and/or expertise. The certification process is designed to confirm the business is at least 51% owned, operated and controlled by a woman or women.

By including women-owned businesses among their vendors, corporations and government agencies not only demonstrate their commitment to fostering diversity and the continued development of their supplier/vendor diversity programs, but may also be able to take advantage of federal, state and local tax incentives.

Founded in 2013 and located at 650 Commerce Drive #160, Image360 is locally-owned and operated, and is a member of Alliance Franchise Brands franchise network, a world leader in visual and graphics communications, linking more than 620 locations in the U.S., Canada and United Kingdom.
