Union City Businessman Honored For Leadership

UNION CITY, CA — The typical Union City resident has probably never heard of the business Mizuho OSI. After all, it's not a popular restaurant or clothing store, it's a leading manufacturer of specialty surgical tables, pressure management solutions, and table-specific patient care kits. But the company’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Steve Lamb, plays an important role in the community. He's just been named the winner of the 2018 Community Spirit Award for Business Leadership from the Union City Chamber of Commerce.

Lamb was recently presented with the award during a private luncheon for the Community Spirit Award honorees.

"We are very pleased to have the opportunity to recognize Steve Lamb, who under his leadership of Mizuho OSI, has made significant contributions to our City. It is very exciting to see Mizuho OSI continue to be on the cutting-edge of innovation in the development of surgical tables and the whole operating room environment," said Mayor Carol Dutra-Vernaci. "We are proud that Mizuho OSI has been located in Union City since 1994, providing jobs for more than 250 employees."

To help drive innovation, Mizuho OSI partners with the best surgical talent in the medical field to develop technology for better patient care and the surgeon’s experience, positioning the company’s products to be procedure specific in both hospital and outpatient settings.

"Mizuho OSI works closely with Union City leadership on how our company interacts with the surrounding community, including the opening of our Customer Experience Center earlier this year," said Lamb. "I’m honored to receive such a prestigious award from the Union City community and Chamber of Commerce. Our company hopes to continue to drive a better surgical experience for patients and surgeons from our home base in Union City."

The Union City Community Spirit Awards recognizes individuals whose contributions have made an impact in the community.

The other 2018 winners are:

• Volunteer Service - Lee Guio
• Education Service – Dr. Arlando Smith - Superintendent, New Haven Unified School District
• Government Service-Avalon Schultz-Senior Planner, Union City Planning Department
• Green Business-Hilltop Baptist Church- Royce Ruiz, Pastor

Mizuho OSI products are sold direct in the U.S. and Germany, and by the Mizuho Corporation in Japan. Both companies sell their products and solutions worldwide through authorized international distributors.
