ARBILL'S JULIE COPELAND IS ONCE AGAIN RECOGNIZED AS A "TOP WOMAN ENTREPRENEUR"

-- Enterprising Women magazine announces its Class Of 2013 award winners. --

Julie Copeland, president and CEO of Arbill -- a leading provider of workplace safety products, services and training -- has been recognized as one of Enterprising Women's 2013 Top Woman Entrepreneurs.

The Enterprising Women of the Year Awards are a tribute to top women entrepreneurs from around the globe. To be recognized by Enterprising Women, award recipients must demonstrate they have a fast-growth business and express active leadership in the growth of women's entrepreneurial pursuits.

Copeland has a long history of motivating woman entrepreneurs. She is Vice Chair of the Women's Enterprise Leadership Forum for WBENC and a founder of the Women's Business Enterprise Council (WBEC) of PA-DE-Southern NJ Envoy Program. Copeland received the WBE Leadership Award and the Brava!

"It's an incredible honor to be recognized by Enterprising Women," says Copeland. "But all motivated female entrepreneurs know recognition is never the end goal.

ARBILL OPENS UP A NEW DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN DALLAS, TX

-- Continuing its expansion across North America, the Philadelphia-based workplace safety provider now maintains inventory in 22 states. --

Arbill, a leading provider of workplace safety products, services and training in Philadelphia, recently opened up a new distribution center in Dallas, TX. This new supply point is another successful step in Arbill's continued expansion across North America.

With the addition of this distribution center in Texas, Arbill now maintains inventory in 22 states. More distribution centers means Arbill is able to reach its customers with more speed and efficiency. This, in turn, supports the company's mission to get every worker home safe after each shift.

Arbill President and CEO Julie Copeland expresses her enthusiasm for the company's continued expansion: "As we extend our reach, we are not just expanding our geographic footprint and inventory capacity. More importantly, we are offering more environmental health and safety (EH&S) personnel and resources to the public."

"Making EH&S training programs more accessible across the U.S. is crucial to building a strong culture of safety and protecting our nation's workers."

Copeland also remarks that adding new talent to Arbill's team of Safety Architects helps the company better serve its customers. "This skill diversification allows us to more thoroughly and comprehensively serve the unique needs of each workplace."

All of Arbill's sites are fully integrated with its enterprise resource planning (ERP) system so its team has immediate access to inventory stocked at any of its locations. "Customers can call, fax or email our customer service team for current product availability on any of the hundreds of thousands of products we offer at any of our locations," says Copeland. "We then ship from the location that gets the products to the customer most efficiently."

Each of Arbill's distribution centers has 24/7 coverage to guarantee all safety needs are met in the case of a workplace emergency.

ARBILL RELEASES IT'S NEWEST SAFETY PRODUCTS CATALOG

-- With 496 pages of premium safety products and helpful tips, the catalog serves as a one-stop shop for on-the-job protection. --

ARBILL STANDS STRONG ON WORKPLACE SAFETY

-- Its "Give Back" program fortifies Arbill's mission to bring each worker home safe, every day. --

Arbill, a Philadelphia-based provider of workplace safety products, services and training, recognizes that ensuring workplace safety means helping out the organizations that need assistance. Arbill's Give Back program works well with its "Make It Home Safe" mission because it provides safety products for those who truly need it -- without expectation of compensation.

Arbill's mission is to ensure that each worker returns home safe, every day. Arbill President and CEO Julie Copeland emphasizes that this mission is honored and fulfilled by creating cultures of safety -- and this takes a team effort. "We believe we have an obligation to give back to the community and are committed to helping others," says Copeland. "We would not be honoring our mission to bring workers home safe every day if we did not provide extra assistance to those who truly need it. Workplace safety shouldn't be limited to the organizations that can afford the superior safety services and products we offer."

Arbill's Give Back program takes a philanthropic approach to ensuring workplace safety. Arbill makes a donation of safety equipment -- on the behalf of each organization that partners with the safety supplier -- to a group that needs the assistance. The three largest beneficiaries are Feed The Children, the Philadelphia Fire Department and Goodwill.

In addition to donating safety equipment on behalf of partnering organizations, Arbill gives up to 10% of its profits to charitable organizations -- these donations are also in the form of safety products like gloves, hardhats and raincoats.

"We are not thoughtlessly throwing money at these organizations and calling it 'charity,'" says Copeland. "We are providing safety-related items which they may not be able to purchase themselves. Items that help make them safe. That's our mission, and our passion."
