This development solidifies the role Sundyne plays in the local Arvada community as a job creator and driver of economic growth. Sundyne has operated out of their Arvada facility for over 50 years, engineering and manufacturing reliable pumps and compressors for use in the global oil, gas, chemical, power generation and processing manufacturing industries.

"As someone who grew up in Arvada, this is a huge honor for me," explained Ms. Olson. "I look forward to serving on the AEDA board and working to identify ways to help manufacturing companies succeed and thrive in this city."

"She cares about making a difference," said AEDA Director Hazel Hartbarger. "We are thrilled to have her on our team, as she truly understands the community and how Sundyne fits in."
