  Mrs. WALORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the 
employees and owners of Robert Weed Plywood in Bristol, Indiana, as 
they celebrate 50 years of creating high-quality products and 
contributing to the growth of Northern Indiana's vital manufacturing.
  Since its founding in 1966, Robert Weed Plywood has been a 
trailblazer in manufacturing. In 1969, they opened their 18,000-square-
foot distribution center in Bristol, where they serve 18 industries 
across the country ranging from vehicle production to healthcare.
  Robert Weed Plywood is recognized as one of the finest manufacturers 
in the industry. They are consistently at the forefront of fabrication 
and distribution. Their continued success is due to their approach to 
business, their skilled workforce, their dedication to technological 
advancement, and their adherence to the industry's highest standards.
  Within the past decade, Robert Weed Plywood has expanded 
significantly. They established RWP West LLC in Weiser, Idaho, in 2007 
and in Twin Falls, Idaho, in 2008. Such growth allows them to provide 
their exemplary services to the entire nation. Hoosiers can be proud 
that Robert Weed Plywood's roots are in the Indiana's Second District.
  The company also boasts a history marked by its dedication to the 
community. With their strong business model, they have served as an 
example of the importance of supporting local businesses. They have 
provided thousands of good-paying jobs for Hoosiers. They exemplify the 
long-standing tradition of excellence in Indiana.
  For the past half century, Robert Weed Plywood has demonstrated their 
passion for serving customers, providing exceptional products, and 
achieving the highest level of manufacturing excellence.
  On behalf of Hoosiers across Indiana, I sincerely congratulate Robert 
Weed Plywood on their 50th anniversary, and I wish them continued 
success and growth in the years ahead.
