Defense Contractor Herndon Products Welcomes Congressman Akin
Published on: July 20, 2010
U.S. Representative Todd Akin (R-MO) toured our St. Louis based defense contract distribution facility and Herndon Products world headquarters late
last week. The Congressman’s visit marks the one-year anniversary of the
company’s expansion into their 77,000 sq. ft. facility in St.
Charles County, Mo.
“Herndon Products is a wonderful example of how hard work
and vision produced one of our region’s premier defense companies. It
was a treat to meet with the owners and employees. Congratulations to all
for the success and contribution to our nation’s national defense,” said
Akin.
A briefing on the steady growth of Herndon Products and
defense industry market trends and a tour of the plant were followed by a
town hall meeting for nearly 100 employees.
“Hosting Representative Akin was a pleasure for our entire
team,” Scott Herndon, President and CEO said. “This has been a tough 12
months on many, yet at Herndon Products we’ve been blessed with some
effective and strategic partnerships that mean we continue to grow -- and
we’ve added jobs. We are focused on continuing to do our part for our
military war fighters, and for the local economy.”
Herndon Products supplies high quality products and services
to the aerospace and defense industries. For more than twenty years, we have been the
premier provider of supply chain solutions to both domestic and international companies.
