 ========================= END NOTE ========================= 

  Micronova Manufacturing, Inc., was established in the City of 
Torrance, California, in 1984 by founder and owner, Audrey Reynolds. 
Micronova is a woman-owned business, which has developed a variety of 
specialized tools to address critical cleaning needs in the emerging 
electronics and aerospace industries. Micronova exports California-made 
products around the world.
  Audrey Reynolds is a forward-looking business owner, who understands 
the importance of manufacturing to the global marketplace. For decades, 
she allocated resources to global research and navigation of regulatory 
procedures and by 2017, global sales made up sixteen percent of 
Micronova's business.
  As the Ranking Member of the Financial Services Committee and a 
strong supporter of the Export-Import Bank, I understand the importance 
of the global marketplace for American businesses and American workers. 
The Export-Import Bank opens up international markets to U.S. 
businesses by financing and insuring the sale of U.S. exports when 
private sector financing is prohibitively expensive, or simply not 
available. In this way, the bank is a lifeline for small businesses 
looking to expand.
  Under Audrey Reynolds' innovative leadership, Micronova 
Manufacturing, Inc. is a responsible and valued corporate citizen. I 
congratulate Micronova for this admirable achievement.
