                        Thursday, June 27, 2019

  Mr. JOHN W. ROSE of Tennessee. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the Cumberland Container Corporation in honor of its 50th 
anniversary.
  A time-honored mainstay of Putnam County, Cumberland Container 
Corporation was granted its corporate charter by the State of Tennessee 
on October 21, 1968. Nine months later, this company planted its roots 
in a 6,000-square-foot building in Monterey, Tennessee. At its 
commencement, this company served the area by providing manufacturing 
containers and packaging materials to local businesses with nothing 
more than four pieces of used equipment and six employees.
  Cumberland Container Corporation was dedicated to its belief in 
efficiently supplying local companies. Although times proved to be 
tough at the beginning, this company persevered and demonstrated the 
brilliance of this concept through consistent customer growth over the 
last five decades.
  Fast forward to this year, Cumberland Container Corporation is 
currently operating in a 260,000-square-foot building on over 18 acres 
of land. By current count, Cumberland Container Corporation now employs 
85 associates and owns a vast assortment of machinery for its 
production and logistical needs.
  To my House colleagues here today, I hope that you will join me in 
recognizing the Cumberland Container Corporation for their longstanding 
service to the community. It is the hardworking nature of this company 
and its employees that truly reflect exactly what it means to be a 
Tennessean.
