Honoring 25 years of innovation, impact and inclusion, Outlook Nebraska recently celebrated a milestone with the installation of a new state-of-the-art Bretting Life Interfolder. The multi-million-dollar, high-speed automatic machine can produce up to 850 cases of multifold paper towels per eight-hour shift, enhancing both productivity and employment opportunities.
A dedication ceremony was held on June 3 and honored both the new machine and the Outlook Nebraska’s 25th anniversary. Special guest Soraya Correa, president and CEO of National Industries for the Blind, joined company leaders, team members and supporters for the occasion.
