Irvine Manufacturer Honored For Disabled Vet Program: White House
This Irvine manufacturing company was honored Monday at the White House for their work with disabled U.S veterans.

IRVINE, CA - The Irvine business K-CO Productions was celebrated at the White House Monday for their work with veterans. K-CO Productions has employed disabled veterans of the U.S. armed forces to build their patented hose nozzle that will be displayed at the Made in America Product Showcase.
The company bills the "Little Big Shot Super Nozzle" as "pound for pound, the most-effective water-efficient nozzle you can buy."
The nozzle is manufactured from solid brass and "weighs only a fraction of other adjustable nozzles, requiring far less material from our environment to make," according to the company.
