Manufacturing & Assembly

Get to work.

At VisAbility, we believe everyone deserves the opportunity to work and reap the rewards of job skills plus productivity victories. Through our Industries Division, employees of varying abilities have the chance to do their best work every day.

For many individuals navigating gradual or unexpected vision loss, gainful employment and financial security is a critical part of ensuring continued confidence, independence and the value of productivity. Our ISO Certified Industries Division is designed to train and manage production of light manufacturing and assembly, janitorial services and customized labor needs for both public and private sector businesses. Our workforce at VisAbility is 85 percent blind or low vision and paid a competitive hourly wage plus benefits to manufacture and assemble on projects ranging from simple to complex. The revenue produced through our Industries Program is reinvested to support our rehabilitation programs. If you or someone you love with vision loss wants to get to work, let’s make a plan today.

If you would like to employ our VisAbility workforce, or seek employment, please contact Leslie Montgomery at lmontgomery@visability.org or 412-368-4400 x 2253.

Textiles

Many of our jobs include working with industrial textiles. We sew sheets, pillowcases, towels, and aprons for contracts such as state hospitals, prison systems and Federal Government contracts.

Kitting

We provide hands-on labor for assembling end product assembly. Kitting services combine related products into a single package for shipping. This reduces costs, increases sales, and improves the customer experience for our customers.
