                        A TRIBUTE TO HY-CAPACITY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 13, 2011

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the achievement of 
Hy-Capacity, a remanufacturer of agricultural equipment in Humboldt, 
Iowa. This company was recently selected by the Small Business Commerce 
Association (SBCA) to receive the 2010 Best of Business Award.
  The SBCA is a private sector organization that seeks to provide 
guidance and assistance to small businesses as they try to navigate 
their way through day-to-day business issues. The SBCA gives out the 
Best of Business Award annually to those local businesses who have 
demonstrated quality service to their customers and their communities, 
and in doing so, create or enhance a positive image of small businesses 
everywhere. Winners of this award are selected by a committee using a 
combination of statistical research, surveys, consumer rankings, and 
consumer reports. The award is given to the top five percent of small 
businesses across the country every year.
  Hy-Capacity was established in 1978 and remanufactures a variety of 
parts for agricultural equipment, including water pumps, radiators, air 
conditioners, engine overhaul kits, and much more. Although 
headquartered in Humboldt, Hy-Capacity has 24 regional warehouses and 
40 distributors throughout North America. In the words of the company's 
president Steve Olson, ``This award solidifies that our employees are 
best-in-class professionals, taking pride in taking care of our 
customers.''
  I commend Hy-Capacity for their dedication to quality service and 
their accomplishments as a small business. Small businesses are crucial 
to the success of the American economy and are a lifeline for many 
Americans living in rural areas.
  I know my colleagues in the United States Congress will join me in 
congratulating Hy-Capacity for being selected to receive this award. I 
wish the company and its employees luck and success in the future.
