InCord Awarded Women-Owned Small Business Certification

Incord manufactures safety netting systems for a variety of markets. 


Meredith Shay (L) and Robin Ritz (R) are owners of InCord, a woman-owned manufacturer of safety netting products.

InCord is honored to announce that InCord has been certified as a Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB) by the U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA).

For InCord, this is a milestone and a transition from its founding years, recognizing Meredith Shay and Robin Ritz as sole owners of InCord, a woman-owned and operated manufacturing business entity, on a federal level.

Woman-Owned Small Business (WOSB) provides bidding opportunities for InCord for all state and federal jobs and in many instances, within private industry. In addition, the SBA-backed status will provide InCord an edge over a company that is not. The SBA plans to award at least 5% of all federal contracting dollars to women-owned small businesses yearly to support this goal.

“We’re excited to have achieved this certification,” says Shay. “It allows us to demonstrate our values and capabilities to more clients. We can connect with companies who share our commitment to diversity and inclusion.”
