On Nov. 22, U.S. Congressman Anthony Gonzalez—
who represents the 16th District of Ohio—
visited the Medina, OH manufacturing and distribution

Spray Products’ executive team to learn more about
the history of the company and its expansion to Medina,
made possible through collaboration among
local and regional economic development organizations.
He then toured the facility, met with employees
in distribution and manufacturing, and observed
first-hand the production process from start to finish.
“We were honored that Congressman Gonzalez
took time out of his hectic schedule to tour our plant
and learn more about Spray Products,” said company

We look forward to continuing to develop our relationship with him as we grow with the Medina community.”
