Crystal Window & Door Systems has been named 2007 Outstanding Minority Business by the National Minority Business Council.

The National Minority Business Council recognized Crystal for its demonstration of strong revenue growth and profitability as a manufacturer, as well as its customer service and relations. In his acceptance remarks, Thomas Chen said, "As an Asian-American immigrant business owner, I believe I have a responsibility to set an example for other minority business owners. I tell people who come to me for advice that they can achieve great things in America with hard work and determination, and most of all, a dream." Chen also acknowledged the dedication and talents of Crystal's staff in achieving its success. The National Minority Business Council brings the minority and women-owned business community together with large corporations to foster effective business relationships for all.
