                        Monday, January 27, 2020

  Ms. STEFANIK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Century Linen & 
Uniform for receiving the Fulton Montgomery Regional Chamber of 
Commerce Centennial Business Award.
  Century Linen & Uniform is a legacy company headquartered in Fulton 
County since 1915. The company was founded in Gloversville as Robison & 
Smith, and the name was changed in 2015 to mark a new era for the 
``next 100 years'' of the company. Today, the company has over 400 
employees operating out of three locations, including a brand-new 
facility in Fulton County. They serve a range of customers, including 
acute healthcare facilities, surgery centers, nursing homes, assisted 
living centers, doctors' offices and other businesses throughout New 
York State and western Massachusetts. Their weekly laundry output, now 
at 500,000 pounds, is expected to rise to over one million pounds in 
the future. CEO Richard Smith attributes the success of Century Linen 
``to hard work, consistency with our business philosophy, focusing on 
our core values and having a properly trained and educated workforce.''
  Century Linen and Uniform has been providing jobs and investment to 
our communities for 105 years. On behalf of New York's 21st District, I 
would like to congratulate Richard Smith and the entire Century Linen & 
Uniform for this well-deserved recognition. I look forward to their 
future success.
