Our Mission & Journey

Founded in 1995, CNWR, Inc. began with one goal in mind: to make IT simpler, smarter, and more human. From our humble beginnings in Toledo, OH, we’ve grown into a trusted technology partner for hundreds of businesses across Northwest Ohio, Southeast Michigan and may new areas each year.

What Hasn't Changed?

Our belief that technology should empower people — not complicate their lives.

Built on Values. Backed by Action. Our Core Values

Over decades of growth, one thing has never changed—our commitment to doing things the right way. These values aren’t static—they’re lived daily by our team, in every challenge and every success.

pride-in-what-you-do

Always Seek Improvement

Better tomorrow than today

We believe in continuous improvement.  Mistakes happen, how do we ensure that we learn from them?  Rather than blame those involved, we seek to identify the lessons from mistakes to ensure that we all learn from them.

Have a Firefighter Mentality

Ready, Willing and Able to Respond

Espousing a firefighter mentality is a key core value at CNWR.  While nearly all companies have a rapid response team and SLA’s for response. At CNWR, we take responding to trouble seriously.

Be Human

We treat people how we want to be treated

Being human is a simple concept.  As humans we crave social interactions and belonging.  We are naturally social creatures.  We believe that if you treat people well and remember they’re human, things will be better.

Be The Rising Tide

A rising tide lifts all the boats

Being the rising tide is one of the core values of CNWR. We believe when we work together to better ourselves and one another, everyone can benefit. This extends beyond our company to include how we treat our partners, vendors, and competition.

do-what-is-right

Do What's Right

Do What's Right, Not What's Easy

Doing what is right is not always the quickest or easiest to accomplish in business. However, here at CNWR, we have embraced the idealogy of doing the right thing to protect a company, even if it's a complicated and challenging path. We always have the customer's best interest in mind. 

pride-in-what-you-do

Start Solo, Thrive Together

Push your own boat forward

We believe that individual initiative is the foundation of success, but true growth and achievement come from collaboration.  This core value encourages independence and self-reliance at the outset, recognizing that personal drive is essential for taking first steps.

"The two best things about CNWR are response time and the fact that older staff at UAW Local 12 isn't given any criticism or ridicule [from the CNWR team for something] that is probably simple to some, but over our heads. They have a very good, to use a nursing term, bedside manner. No geek speak, they put it into terms we understand."

Paul Rickman
UAW Local 12

"You guys are very prompt. It's not uncommon, we've had maybe a handful of times, where we come in at 7am and something is down. It's nice that when something is down at 7, at 2pm we're still not waiting for it to come back up again."

Dr. Christine Ravary, D.V.M.

" The accessibility of CNWR surprised us the most. When I call, the people there even know my voice. They know who I am from the offset. When we have a problem, we are able to get a hold of CNWR..."
