                         Monday, March 20, 2017

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Birko Corporation for receiving the 2017 Commerce City Business on the 
Move Award.
   The Business on the Move Award recognizes businesses bringing new 
employment, growth in sales, or new capital investment to the city in 
the last year. Birko Corporation is a female-owned business that 
manufactures more than 400 concentrated food safety solutions and 
provides safe chemical formulations, state-of-the-art harvest and 
dispensing equipment, servicing capabilities, and integrated IT 
solutions for beef, poultry, pork, produce and brewery applications.
   Birko Corporation has been in Commerce City for 25 years, growing 
their workforce by 10 percent in 2016. Birko is also heavily involved 
in community service both locally and nationally. Their fundraising 
efforts include donations to the American Red Cross, Girls on the Run 
of the Rockies, and several scholarship funds for college students.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to the Birko Corporation for 
this well-deserved recognition by Commerce City.
