The company, now a subsidiary of Dyson-Kissner-Moran Corporation, operates a large manufacturing facility and has built a reputation for quality, dependability, and affordability with its American-made products, significantly contributing to the economy of Southwest Virginia and the nation's infrastructure. The resolution also acknowledges the dedication of Hapco's employees and supporters and notes the company's plan to introduce a commemorative seal to mark its legacy of manufacturing excellence.
