Today was the last general meeting of the year 2008. Once a month, all Streetwires’ employees attend this meeting to know what’s happen in the company about HR, Sales, Production and Finance. And everybody gets a chance for questions, request or comments.

KUNYE (Xhosa for “forward together”) is a company established by Alison Coutras in 1995 as a personal contribution to combating unemployment. Kunye trains and provides work to groups and individuals who handcraft products, using recycled material wherever possible. Designs are a fresh take on traditional techniques, with beautiful, contemporary results.

They make in particular some products from recycled paper, below you can see what they could create with our brochures. It could be a perfect gift box for Streetwires products!

I would like to introduce to you Streetwires’ packing team. Once the order is completed and quality is checked, they pack it in plastic wrap and in a cardboard box with a tag to identify the customer. They also add sometimes some specific tags or packaging for small or fragile products.
