  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Sutrak for receiving the 2018 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 Commerce 
City. Sutrak is a manufacturer of HVAC systems for transit vehicles 
including bus, light rail, and automated people movers. Founded in the 
1970s by Hugh Ferdows in Germany, Sutrak expanded into the United 
States and Colorado by the early 1980s.
  With over 30 years of domestic production, Sutrak systems have been 
installed on virtually every major bus, light rail vehicle, and 
automatic people mover system manufacturer in the United States. Sutrak 
completed a

additional employees to the company's existing 70 employees.
  I extend my deepest congratulations to Sutrak for this well-deserved 
recognition by Commerce City.
