Washington, D.C. - In recognition of their tremendous efforts and years of success, U.S. Senator Jim Risch has named Fisher’s Technology as the Idaho Small Business of the Month for January.  The company will be recognized in the Congressional Record of the United States Senate.

“I am pleased to recognize Fisher’s Technology as an outstanding small business.  This is a company that has grown and adapted for more than 70 years,” said Risch. “Locally owned and operated, Fisher’s Technology has been listed as one of America’s fastest-growing company four of the last five years. In the process they have expanded from 46 employees in 2009 to 66 today, which is the sort of hiring pace our economy needs more of. I congratulate everyone at Fisher’s Technology on their success and wish them the very best in the future.”

Founded in 1936 as a typewriter supply company, Fisher’s Technology today provides office equipment and servicing across Idaho from four locations. Their commitment to high-quality products and customer service has enabled them to adapt to constant changes in technology and the marketplace. Fisher’s is symbolic of the small business spirit that drives Idaho’s economy.
