Item News
I know we have brought it up a few times at this point, but have you
tried the metal flake yet? Many of you across the nation (and across
the world for that matter) have tried using the metallic flakes with
outstanding results.
If you have any questions on the use or application of the metallic please contact us at brad@scorpioncoatings.com
and/or ask for some samples with your next order. It is something that
only Scorpion can do and is a great way to differentiate your business
from the competition at very minimal cost to you!

Small Business of the Year 2009
Scorpion is also very proud to say that it has been honored as one of
the finalists for the Indiana Chamber of Commerce’s 2009 Small Business
of the Year Award. This award is to honor all Hoosier businesses with
250 employees or fewer that demonstrate the best practices in business
sustainability and growth, commitment to employees and a track record
of community involvement.
The Small Business of the Year Award's Banquet will
honor Scorpion and eleven other Hoosier small businesses for their
outstanding efforts at the Indiana Chamber’s annual Small Business
Awards Luncheon on Wednesday, February 18. Each was selected for the
important role it plays in the local community and on the state’s
economy. During the ceremony, a total of six semi-finalists and six
finalists will be recognized and the Small Business of the Year winner
announced. In addition, five state legislators will be tapped as Small
Business Champions for their dedication to bettering Indiana’s business
climate for small employers.
Wish us luck and we will hopefully share the good news with you next month!
