       RECOGNIZING THE 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EDW. C. LEVY CO.

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 7, 2018

  Mr. WALBERG. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 100th 
anniversary of the Edw. C. Levy Co., which was founded in 1918 when 
Edward C. Levy, Sr. started a trucking business in Detroit, Michigan 
area.
  A short time later, Levy started hauling away steel slag for the Ford 
Motor Company's River Rouge plant, and then other steel mills.
  He began to crush the slag and sell it as road-base material--a move 
that paved the way for the company's continuing expansion and 
development.
  Today, under the leadership of Ed Levy, Jr. and S. Evan Weiner, the 
Levy Group of Companies has grown into an international business with 
locations across the United States and the globe.
  Their products and services include steel mill services, slag, 
natural aggregates, asphalt, concrete and cement, specialty products, 
logistics, lab services, land development, and agricultural products.
  The company is committed to promoting the well-being of their 
employees and recognizing contributions made by the hardworking, loyal 
people who work there.
  As a good neighbor, Levy is also active in helping to fund local 
projects and in contributing to charitable organizations that improve 
the quality of life in the communities where they are located.
  As they celebrate 100 years, Levy maintains a prominent position in 
the global marketplace and has a sterling reputation for excellence, 
innovation, and cooperation.
  It is a lasting legacy that undoubtedly reaches far beyond Edward C. 
Levy, Sr.'s wildest dreams.
