RIVERSIDE, CA. — Phenix Technology, Inc.’s Board of Directors recently announced the promotion of Melisa Sanchez to the position of Chief Operating Officer.

Veteran's Day weekend, Saturday, November 12, 2022, members of the Phenix Family gathered at the Riverside National Cemetery to help hundreds of other volunteers gather the flags placed at every gravestone. 

We are ecstatic to announce that we have been chosen as a Spirit of the Entrepreneur Award finalist for Manufacturer of the Year. 

The Spirit of the Entrepreneur Awards are celebrating their 20th year of honoring the entrepreneurial men and women who innovate, take risks, and build businesses that contribute to the local economy. 

A leader is defined as "the person who leads or commands a group," while a boss is defined as " a person who is in charge." What's the difference? One has earned respect through action whilst the other has earned the respect from their title.

On Thursday, September 1, 2022, we invited our friends, family, and business partners to celebrate a momentous occasion - 50 years of Phenix Technology, Inc. 

50 years in business is an incredible feat for any business, but it is especially monumental for a small business. According to the latest data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), nearly 1 in 5 U.S. businesses fail within the first year. We have succeeded through so many challenges over the years and could not have done so without the support of our business partners and customers. 

We have many helmets on display that were featured in film and television! This helmet is a TL-1, the predecessor to our popular TL-2 Traditional Leather Helmet, and was featured in the 2000 sci-fi film, Frequency.
