                        Thursday, March 12, 2020

  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Bimbo Bakeries USA for receiving Commerce City's Business Appreciation 
2020 Business of the Year Award.
   The Business of the Year Award is given to a Commerce City company 
with a pioneering spirit that has shown a history of leadership within 
its industry and the community. A staple of Commerce City since 1958, 
Bimbo Bakeries USA has demonstrated longevity and sustained growth 
within the community. They are the corporate arm of the Mexican 
multinational baked goods manufacturer, Grupo Bimbo. This facility now 
employs 132 employees, ten of which were hired in 2019. The company 
recently made a $3,500,000 capital investment to its facility, 
upgrading critical equipment such as the hamburger bun line.
   In addition to their growing business, Bimbo Bakeries also gives 
back to the Commerce City community, donating to local organizations 
and projects such as a greenhouse at Lester Arnold High School and 
Thanksgiving dinner at Adams High School.
   I extend my deepest congratulations to Bimbo Bakeries USA for this 
well-deserved recognition from Commerce City.
