                          HON. BRUCE WESTERMAN

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 16, 2019

  Mr. WESTERMAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 50th 
anniversary of the operations at the Albemarle Corporation's plant in 
Magnolia, Arkansas.
  Albemarle's Magnolia manufacturing plant is one the world's largest 
suppliers of bromine and bromine chemicals with forty percent of the 
world's bromine produced at this site. The chemical ingredients 
produced at the plant are used as additives for a wide range of 
products manufactured by pharmaceutical companies, cleaning product 
manufacturers, water treatment companies, agricultural companies, 
electronics goods manufacturers, refineries, and paper companies.
  The plant not only provides good paying jobs to hundreds of Arkansans 
throughout the Fourth District of Arkansas, but it is also a regional 
steward that sets an example of how a corporation should be a leader in 
the community.
  I take this time to thank Albemarle Corporation for fifty great years 
of operating safely, responsibly, and efficiently, and look forward to 
fifty more.

                          ____________________
