Common People... Doing Uncommon Things

Picture of Albert and Gwyneith BlackA Timeline of Success

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.

Cooperation…

          Communication…

                    Collaboration…

The business has evolved from one that was firmly managed by a loyal entrepreneurial class of employees to a company that requires well trained, experienced professional people in every management position. This development is taking place with the company’s mission and values in place.

Strategy…The straightforward business strategy of providing quality services to major corporations in need of supply chain management and logistical services proved to be effective. We specialize in designing, implementing and managing customized solutions with capabilities that include supply chain management, logistics outsourcing and value-added reselling. In turn, our customers reap the rewards of a competitive edge in the fast-paced global marketplace.

ServicesOur strategy for the future is solid. As the company continues to progress from a traditional supplier of commodity products to an outsourced supply chain management firm, we see new relationships with great clients, continued research and growth of quality services and an evolving business model that allows us to maximize our role in the business world, while positively impacting the community at the same time.

 

Camaraderie…In 2007, On-Target proudly launched two great new resources dedicated to giving back to the community and improving people’s’ lives. The first endeavor is ReadyToWork, a skills training program that leverages public and private resources to cultivate a talented workforce and provide employment opportunities for individuals in need. Our second project is OTSL Charities, a designated giving program wherein On-Target matches the funds donated by employees and customers and allocates them to pre-qualified charitable organizations. OTSL Charities will also provide volunteer opportunities for our employees and customers.

Our mission is solid…today, tomorrow and in the future! All of the men and women at On-Target have to teach, preach, coach and counsel, and truly believe that people are good, that people have potential, that people want to learn and grow the organization. Albert Black says, “You should learn to grow the people who’ve joined you on your path. Those people will grow the business.”
