Anyone can sponsor a booth.

It takes real partners to sponsor people.

Day three of Employee Appreciation Week, and the room got bigger because our partners showed up. Not to set up a table but to play bags, show off their axe-throwing skills, have lunch with the team, and celebrate our people right alongside us.

Here's the truth behind 50 years of IW: every piece of technology we've ever rolled out, every install, every milestone, it happened because our partners stood behind us. So it felt right that their tech ran the party too. Elo Touch Solutions screens keeping the bags bracket, Zebra Technologies scanning folks into the photo queue for the red carpet, and Datalogic scanners on the food line. The same gear we put on retail floors every day, working a celebration instead.

And the partners didn't stop at the tech. Zebra brought the shades to keep us looking cool, Datalogic the mini fans to actually keep us cool, and ScanSource the koozies to keep our drinks cold. How cool are our partners?

So thank you Elo Touch Solutions, Zebra Technologies, Datalogic, ScanSource, HP, Epson America Inc. and Ingram Micro. You didn't sponsor a booth. You helped bring this whole celebration to life and sponsored the people who built this company. That's a different kind of partner.

Pizza by the stack. The dunk tank, back by popular demand. The bags tournament still crowning champions. Around here, we don't do small.

One day left and 50 years to celebrate.

Friday, we said something big is happening at IW. Today, we rolled out the red carpet and handed it to the people who earned it.

Fifty years. One golden anniversary. And a simple truth: you don't reach 50 by accident. You get there because people show up, some of them for decades and keep building something worth staying for. So, celebrating quietly was never in the script.

Day one had a soundtrack. Our DJ kept it rolling through coffee, breakfast, an amazing Mexican lunch, some well-earned time in the spotlight, and a few words from the man who started it all, Al Moorhouse. But mostly? A building full of people having the kind of fun you can't fake.

A big thank-you to Corporate Resources of Illinois for sponsoring Viator Coffee.

And to the partners helping us bring the entire week to life Elo, Zebra Technologies, Datalogic, HP, Epson, ScanSource and Ingram Micro. Thank you for being part of the celebration, and a huge part of our 50-year story.
One day in. Three to go. And this is just the opening scene.

The industry's cutting people. We're rolling out a red carpet for ours.

It’s our golden anniversary, and we're marking it the only way that's ever made sense to us: by putting our people first.

While much of the industry cuts headcount to do more with fewer, we're doing the opposite investing in the team that's carried this company for five decades, with the biggest Employee Appreciation Week in our history.

For four days, August 24–27, we're rolling out the red carpet for the 200+ people who make IW what it is.

Fifty years taught us one thing: technology keeps changing, but people are what make a business worth building. It's the same reason our customers stay. The people they rely on are still here, year after year.

And none of those 50 years happened alone. Everything we deliver runs on the technology built by our partners. A special thank you to the seven who stepped up to sponsor this week and put our people center stage: Elo Touch Solutions, Zebra Technologies, Datalogic, HP, Epson America Inc., ScanSource, Ingram Micro, Equipment Depot, Corporate Resources of Illinois and to every partner who's been part of our story.

Rory’s IW story started in an elevator.

He was 13, Al was there, and somehow that conversation turned into a 20 year career.
Today, Rory is a Senior Account Executive working with grocery customers. But he did not learn the technology from a sales deck. He learned it by working on it.

That is a big part of why customers trust him. He knows the equipment, understands what is happening behind the scenes, and is there when they need help figuring it out.

In the today's interview, Rory shares how it all started and what has kept him here for two decades.

He knows the tech, knows the customer, and probably knows who to call before anyone else does.

The sales team is officially in the hot seat.

First up: Mike Thornton. And yes, he handled it with the same calm he brings to every customer conversation.
Mike works for IW. But he's always made it clear whose side he's on: the customer's.

To Mike, a customer has never been an account on a spreadsheet. It's a group of people counting on him to make the hard things easier and he takes that personally.

He brings together the IW team, our partners, and whatever the moment calls for to help them get it right.

Because the sale is never the finish line.
Showing up is.

That's why retail customers don't just take Mike's calls.
They call Mike. Well, some of them call him Mikey. Twenty years will do that.

Hear Mike reflect on his career, the relationships he's built, and what's kept him at IW for more than two decades straight from our IW: 50 Years interview series, featuring the people who built it.

No sales pitch. Just Mike.

Culture is easy to put on a slide.
A little harder to explain with a burger in your hand.

So at our 50-Year Celebration Cookout, we asked the IW team one simple question:

𝗗𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗯𝗲 𝗜𝗪 𝗰𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝘁𝗲.

No scripts.
No polished talking points.
Just full plates, quick answers, and the kind of warmth you can’t fake.

Good food. Great people.
Fifty years in, IW still tastes like family.

Two hundred and fifty years ago, a few people put their names on a promise, knowing what it might cost them. Everything since has been the work of keeping it.

This week we celebrate that: the flags, the fireworks, the freedom 250 years in the making.

And behind every celebration, there’s another set of lines keeping America moving.

Barcode lines, checkout lines, service lines, delivery lines, and the people who keep them running. Not in the history books. In the everyday. In the people who just keep showing up.

So to everyone working a lane, a loading dock, or a service call while the rest of us celebrate: thank you. Enjoy the fireworks. You earned them.

Happy 250th, America and happy Fourth of July, from all of us at IW Technologies in Chicagoland.
