I would like to express my thanks and appreciation to ACI staff for the work performed on my patio set recently. The set consisted of 8 pieces (metal and wood) that required a considerable amount of work due to both rust and sun exposure over the years. The quality of work performed was beyond my expectations and was completed in a timely manner. Friends and family members who were familiar with the set before it was refurbished were very surprised at the finished product, stating that it looked like a new set. Thanks for a job well done!

Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections
"In April of this year, the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections honored several outstanding staff during the annual Employee Recognition Ceremony. The celebration marked the implementation of a new and streamlined program that updated the process of identifying deserving recipients, as well as establishing and designing all new award categories and certificates. That being said, the success of this event could not have been accomplished without the assistance of Arizona Correctional Industries and in particular the hard work, effort and dedication of Tom Brown. Tom spearheaded a totally new design template for plaques in the following categories: Esprit de Corps, Exceptional Service, Employee of the Year, Life Saving Award, Outstanding Community Partner, Government Partner, Director's Award, and even a plaque presented to me by my staff. The plaques were an overwhelming success. The exceptional workmanship and styling included a new 3-D option with our logo. The quality and modern appearance were well received by the staff and the Executive Team. It was truly an honor to present these plaques as tokens of our appreciation and memorialization of our staff's exceptional efforts as a group and or individual. Additionally, we purchased certificates designed by ACI for staff commendation and individual certificates for staff recognized as team member for the Esprit de Corps award. The certificates were another example of the care and attention to detail provided by Tom, especially the customization of the certificate to match the Esprit de Corps plaque. Lastly, ACI and Tom's team designed the cover and assembled 180 professional quality programs for the event. In total, 31 plaques; 85 certificates and 180 program covers were provided by ACI. Tom's efforts were instrumental in providing these professional products in a timely manner. Thank you very much for contributing to the success of our event."

Library Division: Arizona Secretary of State
"Here at the State Library we have had some tremendous difficulty with certain vendors over the last 12 to 18 months. Recently, I've started coming to ACI with a few of our on-going projects and even threw Tom Brown (Customer Service Manager) a curve ball when I asked if anyone could design a logo for a symposium we're doing in March. We couldn't be happier with the results. Everything Tom has taken on has come back on time, at a cost that's reasonable, and with a finished product that has far exceeded expectations. I have recommended ACI's services to our Library Development Division to be our primary service provider for all 420+ public libraries in Arizona. Although most of them have long-established partnerships with their local vendors; I know that over time they will start coming to ACI for their various needs (plaques, service awards, recognitions, etc.). I'll continue to offer you as an option that they won't regret. And that logo? It's perfect. Just what we had in mind. Thank you so much all you do and you have a great employee with Tom Brown."

Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections
"Each year the Arizona Department of Juvenile Corrections honors several outstanding staff and community partners during our annual Employee Recognition Ceremony. This past April we had the pleasure of once again working with Mr. Thomas Brown and his staff to design and create awards; certificates and programs for this year's ceremony. In addition to the plaque and certificate templates that Tom and his crew had designed for last year's event; this year we added a new plaque and certificate template for our Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports award. Once again, we were amazed by his team's creative workmanship. It was truly an honor to present these plaques and certificates as tokens of our appreciation and to celebrate our staff's exceptional efforts. I would like to commend Tom and his support team from the Sublimation Department; Gretchen Jones (ADC219170); Elizabeth Quiroga (ADC244869) and Cindy Deeringwater (ADC282776). Their attention to detail and relentless determination to release a quality product on time is second to none. We are proud to have Tom and his crew as part of our team and look forward to future projects. In total; 37 plaques; 176 certificates and 180 program covers were provided by ACI. Tom's efforts were instrumental in providing these professional products in a timely manner and free of errors - a positive reflection of the workmanship and quality that I know ACI to produce. Thank you very much for contributing to the success of our event."

AZ Common Ground
"Thank you so much for working so quickly to create our awards for our honorees. After visiting with you yesterday at ACI, I realized how significant it would be to have our awards created by your team, and then when I saw the designs - they were perfect! They look awesome! The event was great and part of its success was due to you and your team."
"Over the past 4 working days I have watched two of your work crews from Phoenix continuously work hard at our Tucson Office, removing metal shelving and flooring. I was especially impressed with the leadership and guidance of their ACI supervisors, especially Mr. Estrada. Please ensure that the ACI Management and Director are aware of the quality and quantity of work these men and their crews do."

"I just wanted to thank you for the beautiful job your workers did on our chairs. Our daughter had chairs done with you a few years ago and they were perfect. She still gets compliments on them. So we decided to see if your workers were still doing upholstery and are very glad they are. The work is wonderful and the price is outstanding. Please let everyone know who worked on our chairs how happy we are with them. Merry Christmas and thanks."
