  Mr. PERLMUTTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and applaud 
Oribi Manufacturing for receiving Commerce City's Business Appreciation 
2020 Entrepreneurial Spirit Award.
   The Entrepreneurial Spirit Award recognizes a company or 
entrepreneur that demonstrates a pioneering spirit and has seen success 
with anew start-up, new product development, or a company/product with 
growth into new markets. Oribi Manufacturing produces cost-effective, 
high-velocity high-performance composite components appealing to 
industries looking for products that are thinner, stronger, lighter, 
and products created with continuous fiber. The company manufactures 
products like ballistic helmets, canoe paddles, backpack frames, and 
props and bodies for drones for the U.S. Military as well as the law 
enforcement, recreation, sporting, and aerospace industries. They also 
pride themselves on creating products made in the USA using American 
materials.
   Oribi Manufacturing owns a 100,000 square-foot building at 5850 E 
56th Ave. and built a new research and design facility with a new 
conference room this past year. Oribi Manufacturing doubled its revenue 
over the last three years, and in 2019, hired 20 full-time employees 
with plans to hire an additional ten employees in 2020.

   I extend my deepest congratulations to Oribi Manufacturing for this 
well-deserved recognition from Commerce City.
