Spring Grove Pop Line

Woodland Industries provides a variety of work that is performed in our facility.  Light manufacturing and assembly is one area of production we provide.  An example of this is the work we do for Spring Grove Pop.  Woodland Industries currently applies all the labels to the Spring Grove Pop line. 
 
We receive orders from them as to which flavor, the quantity needed, and the deadline of when they will be picking up the finished products.  Our workers then label each bottle by hand and inspect them for quality.  The labeled bottles are then put into cases, which we also make.  The cases are then stacked 56 to a pallet and prepared for shipping.

Work Crew and Enclaves

Woodland Industries provides many community businesses with individuals to help get the work done at their locations. We have workers who do dishwashing, light custodial, light clerical, etc at local businesses.
