CONGRATULATIONS TO HOWARD CHO, PRESIDENT OF CVE TECHNOLOGY GROUP IN
PLANO
______
HON. SAM JOHNSON
of texas
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, October 6, 2009
Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Madam Speaker, congratulations are in order for Howard Cho, president of CVE Technology Group in Plano.
It is an honor and a privilege to salute him for winning the distinguished Minority Manufacturer of the Year Award. Presented on behalf of the United States Department of Commerce's Minority Business Development Agency, this prestigious award pays tribute to the minority entrepreneurs who have demonstrated industry leadership, business success, and community impact.
Founded by President Cho in New Jersey in 1986, the company specializes in consumer electronics, has revenues of $50 million and employs over 1,200 people. In 2002, CVE Technology Group relocated to Plano, Texas, where it now provides refurbishment of cell phones and remanufacturing business with Samsung Telecommunications America, LLC. CVE plans for more growth through continued cellular phone manufacturing, expanding their operation and sales revenue.
In fact, the city of Plano honored Mr. Cho and the company with a citation creating ``CVE Technology Group Day.''
Economic data demonstrates minority-owned firms are poised to generate long-term employment and economic growth in their communities. Howard Cho's CVE Technology Group in Plano is a shining example of that.
Congratulations again, and thank you, to Mr. Cho and CVE Technology Group in Plano, Texas. I salute you.
