Mills has taken care of British Columbia’s office supplies needs since 1949. Founder Don Mills set out from his parent's home at the age of 19 to become the youngest person in Canada to establish a commercial stationery company. The company was Mills Printing Stationery Co. and today, as Mills (also known as Mills Office Productivity), it continues to be a visionary family business thriving as one of the largest office supply providers in British Columbia. Blair Mills has carried on his father’s legacy of care and determination while executing a vision of commitment to social and environmental responsibility. Mills customers benefit from local capabilities including warehousing, delivery, purchasing, customer service, account management, accounting, decision-making, computer systems, programming and network support. Local means flexibility and Mills can mould itself to meet individual customer needs. Mills is a leader in social and environmental responsibility and is often the first office supply company to take the steps necessary to reduce its impact on the environment. Mills has offered its customers a comprehensive range of options to reduce its carbon footprint including delivery via electric truck, toner and box recycling, delivery via reusable totes and a wide range of environmentally preferred products. Mills' social responsibility management practices are based on the principle that businesses have an important role to play in addressing the social interests and sustainable development goals of their community. Mills, established in East Vancouver, embraces its community leadership and gives back by actively engaging with social enterprises, unique hiring practices, and through sponsorships and donations to initiatives, foundations, and charities that aim to instill real and permanent improvements to the lives of disadvantaged community residents.

Hardness, or the resistance to indentation or damage, is a very valuable trait in metals. Steelmakers can increase the strength of a material through different processes known as hardening. Steel hardening was common as early as the Greeks who used surface colors of the steel to determine quenching temperatures, a technique that was used up until the turn of the 20th century. Early smiths used a lot of “magic” to perfect their personal hardening techniques, often using quenching agents such as “dragons blood” or “dew of a May morning”. Luckily, today’s hardening techniques are based solely on science and not as much trial and error. There are two main types of hardening: case hardening, also known as surface, and through hardening.

Because through hardening has no effect on mild steel (<0.25% carbon), the material must be case or surface hardened. In a process known as carburizing, a chemically reactive source of carbon adheres to the mild steel during heating at a high temperature. Notably, the carbon source can be gas, liquid, or solid. Finally, after quenching, a hard surface layer, known as a “case”, will form. The most common depth is in the range 0.020”-0.030”. Importantly, the process results in increased hardness on the outside of the material; however, the low carbon core remains relatively soft. The outside is very hard but very brittle; however, the inside is soft and ductile. This combination is the best of both worlds. As a result, case hardened metals contain higher fracture hardness than through hardened steel.

Through hardening occurs via heat treatment of medium and high carbon steels (>0.25% carbon). First, ovens heat the steel above its critical temperature, which lies between 1500°F-1900°F depending on alloy. Second, the material is cooled rapidly by dunking the material in water or oil in a process known as quenching. Finally, following quenching, tempering or annealing by reheating eliminates excess brittleness in the material. This process results in increased hardness throughout the material. Consequently, the increased hardness also leads to increased brittleness. In fact, the relatively brittle metal can fracture under impact or shock loads.
