Business Briefcase ByConnorDziawura
IN THE BIZ
Hello, everyone. Well, I guess the cool weather could only last so long… and there’s no in-between. It’s pretty much summer, if you ask me. But enough of that! On with the news. This week, I have quite the roundup for you. Business is booming in the West Valley – and especially Goodyear – with new businesses galore. Starting with a larger announcement and working our way around the rest of the community, I will put you on to several great new businesses. Whether you’re looking for physical therapy, new home flooring, a quality barber or something else, I’ve got you covered. Let’s get this show on the road! First, IAC Industries – an industrial and laboratory furniture manufacturer – will move its manufacturing facility to Goodyear. Planned for 3831 S. Bullard Avenue, north of Broadway Road, the industrial plant comprises 50,000 square feet and cost $3 million. The move from California, though in its early stages, is anticipated to allow full operation in early May. It is a gradual process, though, with different aspects of the previous facility transitioning periodically over the coming month. All products will be shipped from Goodyear by early May. “We are thrilled that IAC Industries selected Goodyear as the location for their new manufacturing plant,”
Goodyear Mayor Georgia Lord said. “Products ‘Made in America’ continue to have significance for our nation’s economy and Goodyear is proud that IAC will be building them right here.” The company will bring with it a third of its staff, as well as process equipment and heavy machinery. Additional hiring is underway. Positions include light industrial work, such as material handling, welding, and electrical and mechanical assembly. Apply online at hrpivot.applytojob.com/apply, or call recruiting manager Sharon Estrada at 480-696-1184. Moving along, there is a new ATI Physical Therapy in Goodyear. With locations spanning half the country, this is just the latest addition to the rapidly expanding practice. The practice offers services in hand therapy, women’s health and more, as well as specialized treatments. Additionally, ATI offers complimentary screenings at all locations. The new ATI Physical Therapy is located at 380 N. Estrella Parkway, Suite A1, or the southeast corner of Van Buren Street and Estrella Parkway. It is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. weekdays. For more information, visit atipt.com. Direct Carpet One Floor & Home also opened its newest Goodyear showroom at 14270 W. Indian School Road, Suite C5, earlier this month. Direct Carpet One offers hardwood, tile, vinyl, laminate and carpet for customers. (USPS 004-616) is published weekly

Next, a prime West Valley Fantastic Sams moved to a new location at 560 N. Estrella Parkway Suite 11, Goodyear, at the top of February. Haircuts, styling, color, texture – whatever your needs may be, you can likely have them fulfilled at the newest addition to this franchise.

Business, education meld sectors through networking breakfast ByConnorDziawura Business and education go together like peanut butter and jelly, with the former needed to inspire the latter and the latter needed to build up the former. Several businesses and school officials realize this and they’re melding the two fields. The Southwest Valley Business/ Education Coalition is comprised of volunteers within the business and education communities, who make up its planning committee. The Agua Fria Union and Buckeye Union high school districts – including their superintendents and CTE directors – and local businesspeople are involved. The group’s mission is to assist, advise, and support and advocate for education. Michael Neu, the Buckeye Union High School District CTE director, estimates the group meets three times a year to hear guest speakers, to network and tour the hosts’ facilities. The next breakfast will be from 7:30 to 9 a.m. Wednesday, April 4, at Dick’s Sporting Goods Distribution Center, 4651 N. Cotton Lane, Litchfield Park. This time, a 55-inch TV will also be given away. “We got a couple donations from Walmart Distribution Center, and we’re able to offer a TV at this one,” Neu said. “We’ve had some giveaways

at the other ones, too. It’s just a little incentive to get people more involved.” Neu said the meetings usually start with approximately 30 minutes of networking and breakfast, with the remaining time featuring the guest speakers and facility tour. He said a student from one of the districts usually speaks, in addition to other guests. Previous events have yielded visits to REI, the Cleveland Indians Spring Training facility, and Walmart and Macy’s distribution centers, as well as Dick’s, he added. But how do Neu and his colleagues in the group increase their reputation, turnout and community involvement? “We have a database of businesses who are actually community members who would like to be part of education,” he said. “So, they might want to be a guest speaker, they might want to provide internships, job shadowing, mentorship, maybe coaches, guest teachers or maybe they just want to be informed about what’s going on in education.” Through the group, its planning committee provides businesses with potential skilled employees, workforce training opportunities and the building of relationships through networking. Though the group has existed for several years, its operations are slowly but surely ramping up, and more
involvement is always welcome. “It’s probably been maybe a three, four-year process that we’ve been going with it. But it’s not an easy process. It’s a necessary process,” Neu said. “Everyone wants to bring business and education together, even just for the informative part of it and the knowledge," he continued. "Businesses want to know what’s going on in the high schools and the high schools want to know what’s going on in business, and close the gap.” Neu and his business/education colleagues wish to grow the group, increasing service to the two important sectors of the West Valley. “We’re always looking to grow it, add more businesses,” he said. “We’d love to get more teachers involved. I think a lot of teachers just work out of silos, meaning they have business connections and they use some of their own business connections. I think what we’d like to do is expand and kind of work together as teachers and create one, big database that both districts will use. So that’s kind of the goal. "It’s not easy, though," he added. "You’re a matchmaker. You’re trying to bring business and education together. It’s not an easy thing at all. We need as much help as possible.” For more information, contact Neu at mneu@buhsdaz.org.
The 16,200-square-foot building will allocate 14,000 square feet to the center, according to the city’s economic development department. The remaining space – 2,200 square feet – will be available for a future tenant. Southwest Kidney Institute has nearly 30 locations statewide, and reaches far and wide in the Valley. Because no timeline is in place for this development, I will keep pushing
for more and will be sure to keep you posted on any and all updates as they occur. That’s all the briefs for this week. Thanks for reading, and if you’re interested in more information like this be sure to stop by next week. I have plenty of information in the works. Have an item for Business Briefcase?
