In 1981, we adopted the name Columbia Industries to reflect our growth over the previous 18 years. Today we serve hundreds of people each year. Our dedicated staff works with clients to provide a diverse array of products and services for the community.
In July 2013, Columbia Industries made the strategic decision to purchase Records Management, Inc. (RMS), a local company with an established reputation and years of experience successfully storing large volumes of records for businesses. RMS and CI Shred — our document destruction division — have combined to form CI Information Management. With powerful technology, expert staff, a state-of-the-art facility, and the largest fleet of mobile shredding trucks in the area, CI Information Management has the proven capabilities to store and manage records for companies large and small.
All of our business divisions share the same mission: to help as many people with disabilities as we can through employment services, job training, and centers for social enrichment and community resources. The slogan that appears in our logo, “Your Partner for Success!” was chosen to reflect our commitment to successful partnerships with our clients, our community, our board members, our staff, our donors – everyone who plays a part in our organization. When you use CI Information Management to store your records and shred your documents, a significant portion of your money is used to promote the welfare of people with disabilities.
