5 New Hampshire Businesses Awarded 2023 HIRE Vets Medallions

CONCORD, NH — Five New Hampshire companies have received HIRE Vets Medallion Awards for 2023.

According to acting Secretary of Labor Julie Su, the U.S. Department of Labor announced Wednesday that the five companies were highlighted for supporting military veterans’ recruitment, employment, and retention.

Platinum Level Awards went to EXPANSIA Group LLC of Nashua, a medium business, and Fusion Cell LLC of Windham, a small business. Gold Level Awards were given to Matrix Business Concepts LLC of Concord and ArgenTech Solutions of Newmarket, both medium businesses, and Agility Manufacturing Inc. of Dover, a small company.

“Recipients of the 2023 HIRE Vets Medallion Award demonstrate a commitment to recruiting, hiring, and retaining veterans as they help them develop meaningful, long-term careers,” Su said. “From small-town businesses to Fortune 500 companies, these employers understand that veterans are uniquely qualified and dedicated employees who make significant contributions in the workplace.”

The awards were created in 2017 after the Honoring Investments in Recruiting and Employing American Military Veterans Act was signed.

This year, the award recipients attested to meeting rigorous employment and veteran integration assistance criteria, including veteran hiring and retention percentages; availability of veteran-specific resources; leadership programming for veterans; dedicated human resource efforts; and/or compensation and tuition assistance programs for veterans, the department said.
