                      Thursday, September 26, 2013

  Mrs. BACHMANN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge the ninetieth 
anniversary of Borgert Products, Inc., in Saint Joseph, Minnesota. 
Borgert Product's main mission is to produce premium interlocking 
concrete pavements and related products, and to provide better service 
and choices for their customers.
   This family owned and operated company was established in 1923 by 
Lawrence Borgert in East Saint Cloud, Minnesota. In 1953 Kenneth J. 
Borgert took over the business and moved the operation to its current 
location in Saint Joseph, Minnesota. After Kenneth retired in 1989, 
three of his children--Susan, Kevin, and Nadine--acquired the company. 
In 1999, the Borgert siblings expanded the operation by adding a second 
state-of-the-art plant. In 2006 Susan became the sole owner. She 
considers the employees of Borgert Products as her `work family', 
attesting to the value she places on each one of the staff.
   Borgert Products proudly produces superior concrete paving products 
that exceed industry standards. Part of their success is due to classes 
they offer with hands-on lessons for the installation of their 
interlocking concrete pavers and permeable interlocking concrete 
pavers.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that this Body congratulate and recognize Susan 
Borgert and the entire Borgert Products, Inc. family for their long 
standing dedication to quality products, to customer satisfaction, to 
the environment, and to their community.
