Who Are We
Heart of the Company


Formerly known as Rockwest Training Company’s sewing and screen printing/embroidery departments, we’ve been fortunate to work with many businesses in Oregon, as well as contracts with various state agencies, due to our Qualified Rehabilitation Facility (QRF) status. These relationships will continue with our new business, Material Creations.
The heart of Material Creations is grounded in the history of our 40+ years as a company, working with people with disabilities. We are seeking to grow, exercise creativity, and have a place where each person can be productive. We strive to learn more about ourselves and others, assisting one another and encouraging those around us to improve, and to think differently about our disabilities in the process. We desire to reach out to the community and encourage our community and customers, to grow and to understand, that a “disability” simply means looking at and doing life from a different perspective.
From this foundation we work hard, and have fun! We strive to exceed our customer’s expectations for a quality product, in the fastest time frame possible and at the best price. We look forward to developing a relationship with each customer, meeting their needs and having the privilege of serving them.
