Strength…Founded as On-Target Industrial Maintenance and Supply Company, Inc., the company’s original strategy was to operate as a custodial service and supply organization. After four years of establishing channels of distribution for its product lines, On-Target phased out janitorial service to focus on the distribution of supplies.
Performance…In 1992, On-Target quadrupled its warehousing capacity by moving from its small suburban location to an inner city business district in South Dallas. The relocation uniquely positioned the company for leadership in urban area minority business development. By 1993, the company had reorganized with four strategic business units and a business services staff to manage the growth and development it was experiencing.
Stability…In 1996, the company’s current corporate office (labeled Madison Central) and logistics center at 1133 S. Madison Avenue, Dallas, TX, was purchased and strategically redeveloped to enable the company to compete in supply chain management and corporate logistics outsourcing. The additional facility increased warehousing and office capacity from 40,000 sq.ft. to 160,000 sq. ft.
Growth... 2000 started off with a bang, President & CEO – Albert Black – was elected Chairman of the Greater Dallas Chamber of Commerce. , On-Target experienced exceptional growth through an expansion of logistical services in the telecommunications sector. During the subsequent economic downturn of 2001-03, On-Target maintained key relationships, restructured management and refined the business strategy in a manner resulting in a company better positioned for recovery as a regional logistics management firm with global customers and international responsibilities.
