IdentiSys Inc. Announces Food Drive to Celebrate 10 Year Anniversary Serving the ID Systems Market
Leading identification, tracking and access control provider extends support to communities in the Midwest, Texas and Hawaii
Eden Prairie, MN — June 1, 2009 — To commemorate its 10 year corporate anniversary today, IdentiSys Inc. launched a 10 day food drive to benefit select communities it serves locally. IdentiSys sales and service offices are located throughout Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Texas and Hawaii. Founded on June 1, 1999, IdentiSys is North America’s largest sales and service integrator of identification, tracking and access control security products.
“Our customers have been the key to our success over the last decade,” said Michael R. Shields, founder, CEO and chairman of IdentiSys. “And we wanted to give back to communities where our local sales and service personnel live and work as part of our celebration. Our Eden Prairie, MN headquarters colleagues will support People Reaching Out to Other People (PROP).”
PROP is an Eden Prairie-based nonprofit human services agency serving local families during emergencies and times of temporary need until they can attain self-sufficiency. Additional non-profit agencies will be determined by IdentiSys local sales and service teams.
“We know from our experience in delivering K-12 food service solutions that when the school year ends, food shelf and food bank requests increase. Our 10 year corporate anniversary is a significant milestone for us, and we wanted to observe it memorably,” added Debra R. Ferril, president and COO of IdentiSys.
IdentiSys specializes in identification technologies and applications, including photo ID systems, access control, tracking and first responder accountability systems, metal plate and tag systems, positive patient ID, document destruction, digital color press and varnishing, card personalization and mailing, and fulfillment systems. Gebco of Hawaii, a division of IdentiSys, is the leading supplier in the Hawaiian Islands of photo ID systems, binding, lamination and shredders.
Mr. Shields and Ms. Ferril have overseen the company’s expansion, including five acquisitions: CompuCard, SouthWest Datacom Systems, 4Site Systems, Gebco of Hawaii, and CardSmart Systems. Each acquisition expanded IdentiSys’ local sales and service operations and offered end users an expanded portfolio of products and systems.
“Each acquisition not only increased our product offerings, but also our local sales and service expertise, professional services and support capabilities,” stated Mr. Shields. “Our sales, service and support personnel are industry veterans, and we are committed to delivering excellent customer support to help organizations and schools improve their security programs. I am very proud to commemorate 10 years with our 10 day food drive and look forward to exceeding our customer expectations for many more years.”
