  Mr. CARTWRIGHT. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize InterMetro 
Industries on receiving an Excellence Award from the Northeast PA 
Manufacturers and Employers Association in the Manufacturer Product 
Innovation and Process Improvement category. They will be honored on 
May 7, 2019 for their accomplishments.
  Founded in 1929 and headquartered in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, 
InterMetro Industries (Metro) is a leading manufacturer in storage and 
transport products for the food service, commercial products, and 
health care industries. What started as a shelving company has grown 
into a world-class, innovative, and solutions-based company that has 
revolutionized the way many industries conduct their day-to-day 
business.
  InterMetro is being recognized for its PrepMate MultiStation, an 
adjustable-height, high-productivity worktable that has changed the way 
food is prepared in commercial settings. The PrepMate MultiStation's 
unique design reduces food waste and operator fatigue. This fairly-
priced piece of equipment helps increase efficiency in the kitchen by 
eliminating the need to consistently change workspaces for different 
purposes.
  It is an honor to recognize InterMetro on this outstanding 
accomplishment. I applaud the excellent work they're doing to create 
revolutionary new products to help businesses meet the needs of their 
customers. I wish them the best for many successful years to come.
