On Saturday January 19, Diesel Injection Service will commemorate its relocation to Colton within the San Bernardino Valley Enterprise Zone with a grand opening celebration from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Colton Mayor Sarah Zamora, Councilmember Isaac Suchil, the Colton Chamber of Commerce and company officials are scheduled to christen the new facility, located at 1690 Ashley Way in Colton with a ribbon cutting. K-Frog 95.1 FM will host a live remote broadcast as the official emcee of the celebration, which will include music, food, raffle prizes and exhibit booths for the local community to come out and enjoy. Many local residents are expected to attend.
Established in San Bernardino in 1951, Diesel Injection Service is a Southern California leader in commercial and non-commercial diesel fuel injection pumps, injectors and other performance products. To accommodate recent growth, the company expanded into the new 22,000-square-foot facility off the I-215 late last year.
In addition to freeway visibility and proximity to clientele, Diesel Injection Service selected the site to remain in the enterprise zone. The company currently employs 17 service, sales and administrative workers and will pursue the enterprise zone program as a tool to hire more employees as growth permits.
The new facility features a 5,500 square-foot showroom, a 3,300 square-foot injection pump and injector department and a 6,700 square-foot fleet service department. As an authorized Bosch drive-in diagnostics and repair service center, Diesel Injection Service also offers fleet services.
The San Bernardino Valley Enterprise Zone is one of 40 existing enterprise zones established by the California Department of Housing and Community Development to encourage investment, growth, development and job creation in economically distressed areas of the state. The enterprise zone program grants employers tax credits and incentives for pro-growth business investments that improve economic activity within designated zone areas.
The San Bernardino Valley Enterprise Zone is located in Southern California and includes the city of Colton, city of San Bernardino and unincorporated portions of San Bernardino County.  In addition to the tax incentive it offers, the San Bernardino Valley Enterprise Zone also features a highly developed network of road, rail and air transportation infrastructure, a skilled and educated workforce, affordable commercial and residential real estate, and many other pro-business programs that make the area a highly competitive location for business.
