                        PRAISING GEORGIA BERNER

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 23, 2004

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
praise a leader in the business community in my congressional district. 
Recently the Pittsburgh Business Times named Berner International 
Corporation, a leading manufacturer of air curtains and air doors, 
``Manufactuer of the Year'' in the small manufacturing facility 
division.
  Berner has grown from 35 to 52 employees over the past three years 
and has purchased new equipment which will fuel its success. Its 
expansion to a new 61,000 square foot facility will assist in 
increasing capacity.
  I ask my colleagues in the House of Representatives to join me in 
praising Berner's president, Georgia Berner, and its employees for 
taking this Western Pennsylvania manufacturer to new levels of 
achievement. I am proud to represent an area which has produced 
business excellence and I look forward to further growth of Berner 
International in the future.
