Tag Archives: quality looms

Update, January 2020. We are moving to our very own manufacturing facility! Learn more here. 

We admit it; our looms could be made a little faster. We could even make them a little cheaper. 

If we wanted to, we could outsource our manufacturing overseas. We could use inferior materials. We could hire a call center for customer service. 

But we don’t. Because we know that two things matter to our customers.

First, a quality product. A Mirrix Loom really will last a lifetime.

And second, a quality company. Mirrix Looms are not only made in America, they are made at an incredible facility called Sunshine House that employs people with mental and physical disabilities in a supported work  environment.

Sunshine House is located in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin. From providing group activities to training and supported employment, Sunshine House’s goal is to help people become more integrated into their community and to give them a place where they can be successful. The managers at Sunshine House take the time to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each employee and provide them with an environment where everyone can take pride in their work.

Sandy (the gal in the middle of the picture) is Mirrix’s work floor supervisor. From coordinating shipping to supervising loom-making to helping to develop new products, Sandy does it all. Without Sandy, Mirrix would be lost!

Thank you to all of our customers for supporting us and thank you to everyone at Sunshine House for making our products what they are and our company what it is. Without the amazing customers and employees that we are so fortunate to have, Mirrix would not be the company it is today.
