Firm Marks Anniversary

Simonton Windows is celebrating its 10th anniversary in Vacaville.

The firm opened locally in August 1995 with just 39 em-ployees. Today, it employs more than 225 area residents and recently moved into a larger manufacturing facility.

"We've manufactured well over one million window and door units in Vacaville during the past decade," said Tom Riscili, general manager of the Vacaville facility.

To mark the anniversary, Simonton introduced the Heart and Soul Employee Award at a recent luncheon. The award, which was presented to 10-year employee Alonso Cadenas, recognizes an individual who has demonstrated outstanding personal contributions to the company, a positive work ethic and compassion for his fellow employees. Cadenas was honored at the luncheon with a watch and will have his name engraved on a perpetual plaque on display at the facility.

The firm also honored other 10 year employees and those with perfect attendance records.
