GEORGE RADANOVICH of california in the house of representatives Tuesday, September 28, 1999 Mr. RADANOVICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Vie-Del Company and Dianne S. Nury CEO/President of the company for their success in the grape product industry. Vie-Del is located in the heart of the San Joaquin Valley and is a family owned business. It is one of the oldest and has been consistently among the largest suppliers of grape products to the wine, spirits, food and beverage industries. Vie-Del Company was founded on August 6, 1946 as a winery, distillery and fruit juice processor. Vie-Del is a major producer of wine, brandy, grape juice concentrates and a variety of other fruit products for bulk sale to the wine, spirits, food and beverage industries. Vie-Del produces only in bulk, with no labeled/retail products. Vie-Del operates two facilities, one located in Fresno and the other in Kingsburg. The total cooperage is approximately 50 million gallons. The warehouse facilities incorporate approximately 350,000 square feet in the Fresno plant alone. Vie-Del's concern for quality and service has grown the company to the level it is at today. They work closely with their customers in meeting product needs. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate Vie-Del Company on their achievement as an established supplier of grape products to different industries. I urge my colleagues to join me in wishing Vie-Del Company many more years of continued success. ____________________
