Vermont General Assembly congratulates National Hanger Company (NAHANCO) of North Bennington on its 100th anniversary, founded in 1925

NAHANCO is the nation's largest manufacturer of garment hangers (metal, plastic, and wood) and one of the largest distributors of retail supply products

Company sustainability initiatives include black hangers made of 80% recycled plastic, wooden hangers from sustainable lotus wood and bamboo, and headquarters improvements that reduced water consumption by 100,000 gallons

Vermont Economic Progress Council awarded NAHANCO a $227,000 Vermont Employment Growth Incentive grant in 2015 to expand operations and employment

Secretary of State directed to send a copy of the resolution to NAHANCO and President Michele Pilcher
