WARSAW — Cardinal Services Inc. of Warsaw announced CTB Inc., Milford, has pledged a gift of $1 million toward its future home.

“CTB has supported Cardinal Services in many ways throughout more than 45 years of working together,” said Randy Hall, Cardinal Services chief executive officer. ”CTB is the largest customer of our manufacturing arm, CCI, and we are proud that this area in our new space will be named in honor of CTB and the ongoing relationship between our two companies.”

Hall explained last year the manufacturing contract with CTB provided work and an income to 76 people with disabilities. CCI shipped 9.4 million parts to CTB’s Chore-Time and Brock business units last year, with a 0.00 PPM (parts per million) return rate. Those parts were then shipped to customers throughout CTB’s global market.

“CTB is thankful to have a long-standing working relationship with Cardinal Services,” noted Victor A. Mancinelli, chairman and chief executive officer of CTB Inc. “Cardinal has been a valuable business partner for CTB. They have greatly enhanced our ability to supply high-quality products that better enable farmers to feed a hungry world.”

“We are honored to assist Cardinal as they build a stronger future,” Mancinelli added. “Cardinal is making a difference for the individuals and families they serve by helping people live purposeful and meaningful lives. In return, those individuals can take pride in the fact that their contributions to CTB’s manufactured products are making a difference on farms all over the world!”
