                        Friday, January 19, 2018

  Mr. FASO. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and honor Integrated 
Wood Components, Inc. (IWCI) of Deposit, New York for being named 
``Local Business of the Year'' by the Deposit Chamber of Commerce. 
Founded by the Kamp Family in 1972, IWCI has become an industry leader 
in composite wood furniture manufacturing through their commitment to 
producing quality products in an efficient and environmentally 
conscious way. This recognition is a true testament to IWCI's continued 
legacy of innovation, community involvement, and environmental 
stewardship.
  Boasting one of the most modern, energy efficient, and fully 
integrated wood components manufacturing plants in the country, IWCI is 
known for its cutting-edge operation, swift adaptation to consumer 
needs, and technological advancements. The ``Local Business of the 
Year'' award, however, is a special designation reserved for those 
businesses who go above and beyond demonstrating exemplary business 
practices. In the 19th District, community involvement and conserving 
our cherished outdoor spaces are priorities we hold dear, and IWCI is 
no exception to that. From aiding local community organizations to 
embracing environmentally-sensitive practices, IWCI is a bulwark of 
community and environmental sustainability.
  For over forty years, IWCI has left a positive imprint on our Upstate 
community and economy. On behalf of New York's 19th District, I want to 
congratulate the Kamp Family on their many years of hard work and 
community service, and celebrate IWCI on its much-deserved award. I am 
grateful for the Kamp family's commitment to New York State, and I wish 
them and IWCI continued success.
