Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are pleased to learn that Spirax Sarco, Incorporated, of Blythewood, in Richland County, has been one of three plants across the nation to receive the 2007 Top Plant Award from Plant Engineering Magazine; and

Whereas, Spirax Sarco, the world's leading provider of steam-system solutions and a dedicated provider of knowledge, service, and products for the control and efficient use of steam and other industrial fluids, moved to Blythewood in 1998; and

Whereas, although Spirax Sarco has been in Blythewood for a decade, its history of customer service and high performance across the United States spans almost a century; and

Whereas, with a commitment to environmentally responsible manufacturing, the Blythewood plant has not only maintained the company's profitability but enhanced it; and

Whereas, with approximately three hundred twenty-five employees at its Blythewood plant, Spirax Sarco has a matching-gift program that provides incentives for employees to support educational institutions; and

Whereas, the company also offers employees a program of educational assistance that provides up to ten thousand dollars for a year, and over the past ten years, fifty-five employees have participated in the program, eight of whom have earned degrees under the program; and

Whereas, for a decade, Spirax Sarco has successfully supported numerous local and national charities such as hosting American Red Cross blood drives that average sixty pints of blood a year, raising employee donations for the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation totaling almost twenty thousand dollars, and helping the American Heart Association raise approximately fifteen thousand dollars; and

Whereas, each year Plant Engineering Magazine names three manufacturing facilities that demonstrate a commitment to excellence both in terms of production and product, and the Top Plant Award recognizes operational excellence through the use of best practices in plant engineering management; and

Whereas, the members of the South Carolina General Assembly are grateful for the standard of excellence that Spirax Sarco brings to our fine State and congratulate the company's recent receipt of the 2007 Top Plant Award. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives, the Senate concurring:
