Woman-Owned and Other Certifications

American Moving & Installation is 100% Woman-Owned

While gender and race are commonly the most-discussed aspects of diversity, we cannot forget age, sexual orientation, socioeconomic background, educational background and more. At American Moving & Installation, we embrace diversity, and, in many ways this approach to diversity and non-discrimination is woven into the very fabric of our company, being that we are the only certified 100% woman-owned, union commercial moving and installation company in the state of Massachusetts.

As stated on our website and employment application, American Moving & Installation Inc:

affords equal opportunity to all applicants without regard to race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, veteran status or any other status protected under local, state or federal laws.

Moreover, our commitment to diversity is evident in American’s workforce, vendors, charitable endeavors, business relationships, and clients in a wide range of industries from hospitality to workforce sharing to high tech companies.

American has a history of partnerships with companies founded or led by women, such as Re-Stream, O’Mahoney Electrical, Elaine Construction, ezCater, Amundi Pioneer, True-Fit, Building Pathways, Worldwide Freight Management, Mother Dirt, Alvarez & Marsal, and Lumenomics, just to name a few. We are proud to be one of the most successful union, commercial moving companies in the industry that is the only one 100% woman-owned.

A Certified WBE

Since our inception in 2009, commitment to diversity has been a top priority for our company. We are certified as a Women Business Enterprise with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts’ Supplier Diversity Office and have been awarded Statewide Contract FAC 96.

We are also proud to announce our certification as a Women’s Business Enterprise (WBE) by the Women’s Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC), the nation’s largest third party certifier of businesses owned and operated by women in the US.

As well, we are a certified WOSB (woman-owned small business) through the SBA (Small Business Administration). This program helps women-owned small businesses compete for federal contracts. The SBA also works with federal agencies to increase contracting opportunities and achieve the government’s five-percent contracting goal for women-owned small businesses.

We recognize the commitment to supplier diversity that is embraced by corporations and government agencies today and we can add diversity to your supply chain.
