The Blum Difference

We believe in taking care of each other in the community. Blum isn’t just a place you work. It’s a place where we thrive, live and raise our families. That’s why our commitment to community is our number one priority. Here are some ways we give back to our employees and those around us:

Health

Here at Blum, we’re huge advocates of Wellbeing. Our wellness program offers a Wellness Clinic, on site mammograms, subsidized health benefits and weight-loss challenges. And the best part? Currently 86% employees participate.

• Last year alone, we had 715 visits to our free employee Wellness Clinic.

• Last year, we completed 25 complimentary mammograms on site to our female employees.

• We organize yearly blood drives with the Red Cross, and last year alone we collected close to 70 pints of blood.

• We promote health and fitness for our local communities by donating to our local YMCA and Carolina Thread Trail.

Education

It’s important for us to get students engaged and excited about technology early on. Which is why we are present in schools on career days and during manufacturing week, and we recruit for our prized apprentice program.

• Inspiring women and encouraging girls to grow in STEAM-related fields is imperative for us, which is why we donate to Girls Excelling in Math & Science (GEMS).

Sustainability

We strive to set a good example in our community. We take every opportunity to make little differences that add up in a big way.

• Manufacturing our products in the U.S. with local and European components means we can lower costs and reduce transportation emissions.

• All lights are on timers to conserve as much energy as possible.

• All batteries, paint and refrigerant are properly handled by the companies that specialize in those materials.

• We adopted a two-mile stretch of highway in front of our facility. Quarterly, we have group clean up days and to date have picked up a total of 2880 gallons of litter.
