                          HON. LYNN C. WOOLSEY

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 12, 1995

  Ms. WOOLSEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and celebrate the 
20th anniversary of Panamax of San Rafael. Panamax, the country's 
foremost designer and manufacturer of power protection equipment, is 
deserving of special congressional recognition. What started out as a 
one-room, single-employee operation has become a multimillion-dollar 
enterprise that provides employment opportunities to over 100 
individuals. Panamax has been a strong supporter of small business and 
has a record of hiring employees from the Sixth Congressional District.
  Panamax has earned a reputation for innovation and service to 
producers and users of a wide variety of high-technology equipment. The 
company has developed an important niche in the area of devices that 
provide protection from power surges and spikes. It also provides a 
complete guaranty on every unit produced.
  Panamax has strongly supported international trade and has 
substantially expanded its trade with Canada, Mexico, and other Latin 
America countries. The company is currently preparing to expand further 
to the Pacific Rim countries.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my great pleasure to pay tribute and congratulate 
Panamax as they mark two decades of service. I am very proud to be 
representing such a fine company in Congress. I extend my best wishes 
to Henry Moody, and the Panamax family, for continued success in the 
years to come.
