                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 20, 2015

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize S&H Products, 
Inc. for receiving the Arvada Economic Development Association (AEDA) 
Outstanding Small Business Award.
   The Outstanding Small Business Award is given to a small business 
for their commitment to capital improvements and employment growth 
particularly through their investment in the community and corporate 
culture.
   Since 1988, S&H Products has been designing and manufacturing 
premium-grade firefighting equipment, including fire hose nozzles, wye 
valves, shut-off valves, wildland hose clamps, and other related 
products for both commercial and government applications. Their 
products are used in 90 percent of wildland firefighting suppression 
efforts across the country, including in Colorado, a state that is 
greatly impacted by wildfires every year.
   S&H Products is a great example of a successful local company with a 
`Make It In America' philosophy and a commitment to high-quality 
products. Today, they are a family owned and operated business that 
oversees all its own product development from concept and design to 
manufacturing and testing from its facility in Arvada. Currently S&H 
employs about 33 people, up almost 50 percent from three years ago.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to S&H Products, Inc. and all of 
their employees for being honored by the Arvada Economic Development 
Association. I am proud of the service they provide our community and 
am certain their products and service will continue to benefit the 
wildland firefighting and our communities for decades to come.
