Texas Salutes Luraco: Arlington Manufacturer Honored for Two Decade Push on Made-in‑USA Care

A state nod and a local milestone: What happened and why it matters

Texas has officially recognized Luraco Technologies for two decades of U.S. manufacturing and its work supporting first responders. The governor’s proclamation, announced this week, names the company for its 20‑year anniversary and praises its role in making medical massage chairs in Arlington. For residents and workers in North Texas, the recognition is both a ceremonial boost and a reminder that manufacturing jobs and health programs still matter to local leaders.

Who Luraco Technologies is and what it makes

Luraco Technologies is an Arlington‑based maker of advanced massage and medical chairs. The company says it is the only firm in the United States that manufactures medical massage chairs from start to finish on American soil. Its products are built for consumers, clinics and hospitals, and the company highlights features aimed at recovery and physical therapy.

The outfit operates its factory and offices in Arlington, employs a local workforce, and positions itself as a homegrown alternative to overseas production. In recent years Luraco has emphasized innovation in both design and manufacturing, saying it keeps tooling and assembly in Texas to control quality and support local suppliers.

Inside the governor’s proclamation

The proclamation presented by Governor Abbott honors Luraco for 20 years of operations and for programs aimed at improving first responder wellness. The language in the signed document celebrates the company’s role in manufacturing and cites its contributions to community health efforts. State officials framed the move as recognition of both economic and civic service.

Officials timed the announcement to coincide with the company’s anniversary and pointed to a public release issued by Luraco outlining the proclamation’s details. The ceremony and the paperwork were described as a formal nod from state government, not as a grant or incentive package.

Programs for first responders: what the company says it does

Luraco has been promoting a set of wellness initiatives targeted at police, firefighters and emergency medical teams. The company highlights partnerships with local departments and offers demonstrations, trial units and training to introduce massage and recovery technology into first responder routines.

According to the company’s announcement, these programs aim to reduce job‑related strain and speed physical recovery. Luraco says participants have reported relief from musculoskeletal pain and improved readiness after using the chairs as part of rest and recovery protocols. The release named several local departments that have participated in pilot programs and public demos.

What this means for Arlington’s economy

On the economic front, the proclamation draws attention to the fact that manufacturing remains present in the Dallas‑Fort Worth area. Luraco’s factory provides skilled and semi‑skilled jobs, and the company’s preference for U.S. suppliers supports a small network of local vendors.

The state recognition gives the firm a visibility bump that can help when recruiting workers or courting municipal partners. For Arlington, the story is a reminder that smaller, specialized manufacturers can matter to the local job market even as big tech and service jobs dominate regional headlines.

Voices from the release, next steps and where to learn more

The company release quotes state and local officials praising Luraco’s blend of manufacturing and community service. One statement in the announcement called the company a model of American manufacturing and community commitment. Luraco’s leadership, the release adds, said the company is honored and plans to keep expanding outreach to emergency personnel.

Looking ahead, the company plans additional demonstration events and continued collaboration with first responder groups. Readers interested in more details are invited to contact Luraco’s public relations team or visit the company’s website for event dates and program information.
