As a women-owned business, TABB™ offers a minority spend advantage.

Minority Spend Market Advantages

• It drives competition (on price and service levels) between the company’s existing and potential vendors
• It allows a company to take advantage of new opportunities for business expansion with the emergence of new consumer needs based upon shifting demographics

HUB (Historically Underutilized Business) began with an executive order signed by President Nixon in 1969 to increase the amount of goods and services acquired from businesses that are at least 51% owned by minorities. Minority spend is a business strategy that creates a diverse supply chain for the inclusion of various groups in procuring goods and services.

Minorities and women represent the fastest growth in the consumer base. Supplier diversity requires that businesses ensure these groups have access to the opportunities created by their own revenues.

Diversity certification is an important milestone in the life of a supplier because it authenticates that the business is owned, managed, and controlled by a qualifying diverse group. Certification also opens the door for opportunities to contract with the federal government, which has a mandate to increase the number of diverse suppliers within an organization’s supply chain.

TABB™ Packaging Solutions was formed by four siblings, three of which are females. The owners come from a family with 50 plus years of experience in the plastic packaging and bottled water industries.

The company was formed out of a need for minority suppliers to provide goods and services to the plastic packaging industry. Additionally, from their experience in these industries, the owners saw the growing push by the industry, government, and consumers to be more environmentally responsible with their practices.
