Culture of Ethics Leads to BBB TORCH Award Being Given to Budnick
Budnick is pleased to announce that it has received the BBB TORCH Award for business ethics.  This prestigious award represents and confirms Budnick's commitment to its employees, customers, suppliers and community. 

Official BBB Press Release
 
Budnick Converting Inc, of Columbia, Ill., is among two charities and 10 businesses who are winners of TORCH Awards for exceptional ethical business practices and customer service from the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Serving Eastern Missouri and Southern Illinois.

Ann Wegmann, president of Budnick, said the company got its start in the tape and adhesives business when customers asked her father, Ed “Bud” Schwartz, if he could include a roll of electrical tape in their orders. Over the years, customers began asking for more and more custom-cut and printed tape and foam products.
"It became a niche," said Wegmann, who took over as president in 2004. "Today we sell mostly all tape and converting services."

There are literally thousands of products, most of them custom-made. “We try to communicate very well to everyone that our success depends on always being ethical and honest in all of our dealings,” Wegmann said.

Equipment Spotlight: Budnick's High Speed Table-Top Plotter

Budnick's high speed table top plotter answers the trend towards just-in-time production, shorter runs, prototyping and cutting various substrates.  Although it produces the same precision parts, Budnick's high speed plotter could be considered superior to non-garnet waterjet cutting because it produces parts faster, is capable of cutting specific depths with its XYZ axis controls, and does not require extra time after the parts are cut to clean and dry them - making it more efficient in many cases. Learn more about how this precision plotter can help make you more productive.


"Customer service is our top priority... I personally guarantee that."
~Ann Wegmann, President
