President’s
Message
A
By John Horner,
President /CEO
Morgan Hill
lthough Morgan Hill is perhaps best
known for its living agricultural heritage
and outstanding quality of life, we
are also home to an array of leading
innovators moving their industries forward. Some
examples include: Specialized (maker of the very
first commercial mountain bike), Lin Engineering
(global leader in the design and manufacture of
precision stepper motors), Tencate (leading the
world in carbon fiber technologies), biotechnology
R&D innovator Aragen, world-renowned anaerobic
bacteria experts Anaerobe Systems, cell phone
infrastructure maker Anritsu America, and LIDAR
developer Velodyne. We do not have space here
to profile all of these companies and the dozens of
other local industry leaders, so for this month we
are giving you a taste of why Anritsu and Velodyne
call Morgan Hill their business home.
The Morgan Hill Chamber of Commerce is
engaged in getting the word out locally, regionally,
nationally and internationally about our city as a
great place to locate and grow leading-edge busi-
nesses. Morgan Hill business owners, managers
and employees enjoy an outstanding quality of life,
a deep and diverse talent base, an easy reverse
commute for those living to the north and the avail-
ability of high quality commercial land. If you and/
or others in your organization are interested to
know more about the potential to grow your busi-
ness in Morgan Hill, please contact the Chamber’s
Economic Development Chairperson Ken Murray
(ken@morganhill.org). Ken is eager to help you
grow your enterprise in Morgan Hill.
