  Mr. HOLDEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Silberline

and sells metallic and special effect pigments, which are used

in paints, coatings, and plastics around the world.
  Many of the items used in everyday life get their sparkle from 
Silberline, as key markets for the products include automotive 
coatings, consumer electronics such as cell phones, plastics, and inks 
and industrial arts.
  Silberline has always been a family owned and operated business. When 
founded in 1945 by Mr. Ernest Scheller Sr., Silberline consisted of a 
single, small factory located in Stamford, Connecticut. Today, 
Silberline is a global business, headquartered in Tamaqua, Pennsylvania 
and includes four manufacturing facilities in the United States, as 
well as manufacturing in Europe and Asia. It has sales, technical 
support, and research and development in the United States and around 
the world. Silberline is known as a world leader in the industry, using 
science and technology to create, manufacture, and supply high quality 
pigments that have unique aesthetics, functionality, ease of use, and 
environmental friendliness.
  Lisa Jane Scheller, Silberline's current President and CEO, is the 
granddaughter of founder Ernest Scheller. Ms. Scheller grew up in 
Tamaqua and in 1987 she joined Silberline as Data Processing Manager. 
She has been leading the company since 1997. It is her vision to see 
Silberline continue to grow and thrive while remaining committed to its 
seven core values--commitments to safety, employees, customers, 
environment, community, and continual improvement, all while conducting 
business with integrity around the world.
  I congratulate Silberline on their 65 years of success and wish them 
the best of luck for the next 65.
