We are honored to announce that Nylatech has been awarded for our ongoing commitment to supporting veterans.
Nylatech has been awarded the 2025 HireVets Gold Medallion from YesVets, an organization dedicated to finding veterans work outside the military. This award was presented by the U.S. Department of Labor at its annual ceremony on January 29, 2026, held at the Frances Perkins Building in Washington, D.C.
Initiated by the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans (HIRE Vets) Act of 2017, this award is the only federal-level veterans’ employment award that recognizes a company or organization’s commitment to veteran hiring, retention, and professional development. Recognized in the Small employer category, Nylatech earned the Gold Medallion by meeting its rigorous criteria, including maintaining a workforce of at least 7% veterans and retaining at least 75% of veteran employees.
“We are honored to receive this award, and truly grateful to the veterans on our team for their service, leadership, and dedication,” said Calvin Petersen, Nylatech General Manager. “The entire Nylatech team remains committed to supporting our brave veterans with meaningful opportunities as they transition into their civilian careers.”
At Nylatech, supporting veterans is an integral part of our company culture. We recognize and greatly appreciate the distinct skills, discipline, and commitment that our veterans contribute to our team every day. Looking forward, Nylatech remains dedicated to supporting our veterans by continuing to create meaningful pathways into stable civilian careers. We are truly honored to receive this award, and we would like to congratulate the more than 880 fellow recipients across the United States on their outstanding achievements.
