                       A TRIBUTE TO THE MECHDYNE

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. TOM LATHAM

                         Thursday, May 5, 2011

  Mr. LATHAM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate and recognize 
Marshalltown's high-tech, home-grown business Mechdyne for winning the 
Entrepreneur of the Month Award from the Iowa Farm Bureau.
  Mechdyne Corporation is based in Marshalltown, but has offices all 
over the world including, Houston, Washington, D.C., Canada, the United 
Kingdom, and even the Middle East. Despite being able to customize 
solutions for clients all over the globe, Mechdyne hasn't neglected 
Iowa and recently provided East Marshall High School with top of the 
line technology to facilitate a more immersive learning experience, and 
stimulate student interest in high tech careers.
  Mechdyne began its existence by specializing in virtual reality 
systems but now consults for and develops advanced 3D visualization 
solutions for a global array of customers. Their success is a testament 
to the ``can-do'' spirit of Iowans and an example of the unlimited 
potential we believe each person has.
  Mr. Speaker, I could not be more honored to represent Mechdyne and 
its employees in the United States House of Representatives and I know 
that all of my colleagues in the
