Michigan Industrial Shoe is the premier supplier of comfortable safety footwear, steel toe boots, slip resistant shoes for workers in any industry.
(1888PressRelease) March 19, 2011 - Redford, Michigan - The astounding growth of Michigan Industrial Shoe is a lesson to us all in passion, drive, enthusiasm and good old American family values. As the company celebrates its 50th Anniversary with an enviable and prestigious client base it is hard to imagine its humble beginnings back in 1952 when its founder, Vic Girolami, operated one shoe mobile using his garage for a warehouse. Inspired by his wife, Gale, to remove the shoes from her domestic environment Vic rented a 3,000 sq. ft. warehouse and has never looked back. The company is still family owned and family run with most members of the family working for the business.
Now operating from a 16,000 sq. ft. warehouse on Eight Mile in Redford, Michigan with eight shoe mobiles across Michigan, Ohio and Indiana, the Michigan Industrial Shoe company maintains its commitment to the safety shoe industry selling business to business; business to consumers from the mobiles, business to retail stores and from its comprehensive online store at www.michiganshoe.com. The website is easy to navigate and if you have some time, take a look at the incredible history of the company which is nothing short of inspiring.
This company's credentials are not in question when you consider the calibre of their clients including Ford Motor Company, Whirlpool Corp., Detroit Diesel Corp., General Motors, DTE Energy, Consumers Power, Chrysler LLC, Oakland County and Detroit Water Dept. together with many, many more. However, in the last decade more than 600,000 manufacturing jobs have been lost locally causing Michigan Industrial Shoe to diversify its product range. A wide range of soft toe, slip resistant shoes is now available from the company as demand grows from the service industry and further expansion is planned to accommodate the needs of hospitals and nursing homes.
A commitment to quality and excellence has been the mainstay of the business together with exceptional customer service. With computerized foot measurement, free socks, loyalty reward programs and highly trained, motivated staff Michigan Industrial Shoe is without rival in the industry. Employees of the company are trained monthly to ensure that customers obtain the best service possible and the Mobile drivers are sent to defensive driving classes making them some of the safest drivers on the road.
Keeping the company in the family has ensured that all aspects of the business including production, quality control, marketing and web development, human resources and customer service are handled efficiently, effectively and with the same passion that existed 50 years ago.
Michigan Industrial Shoe considers that it is as much a part of the community, as all the people in it. Recognizing the contribution of the community in its success, the company has worked closely with local groups including Kids Build Detroit and the Cristo Rey Network, assisting urban youth with education and learning a trade. In addition the company donates thousands of products to local and national charities.
