Congressman David Schweikert Tours YESCO Sign Manufacturing Facility
Alexandria, VA – October 24, 2011 —
Arizona Congressman David Schweikert (AZ-05) visited the YESCO LLC facility in Chandler on Tuesday, October 18th, where he learned first-hand how signs are made and their role in helping America’s small businesses. The event was coordinated by the International Sign Association, the on-premise sign industry’s leading trade association.
Congressman Schweikert’s background as a tax assessor, real estate agent and property rights advocate provided him with a good background for understanding and appreciating the economic value of signs, but he learned even more about sign construction and the various technologies used in sign lighting as a result of his visit.
“I am proud to represent this fine manufacturing facility and the hardworking employees of YESCO as they continue to make signs to help Arizona’s businesses advertise and identify themselves,” said Congressman Schweikert. “It was a great opportunity to see YESCO’s talented artisans create the latest in LED technology as well as more traditional types of lighting like neon.”
Congressman Schweikert also spoke with many of the YESCO employees assembled about how Congress is wrestling with reducing the country’s $15 trillion debt; working to improve the housing market in Arizona and make health care more affordable for employers; as well as the benefits of digital signs.
As a family-owned business, YESCO is a true American success story. Founded in 1920 with a $300 investment, the company operates nationwide and is headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah.
