                      Thursday, September 29, 2022

  Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, today I rise to recognize the 30th 
anniversary of JR Machine, a contract manufacturing company in Shawano, 
WI.
  Founded in 1992 in Wisconsin, the business came from humble 
beginnings when Tim Tumanic purchased JR Machine. Throughout its 30 
years in business, JR Machine moved from a garage stall at the local 
Chevy dealer where they made pins to operating a nearly 40,000 square 
foot facility with cutting edge CNC technology they use to craft 
precision made custom parts. JR Machine has quickly become a leading 
contract manufacturing company of precision machine parts. The business 
has remained successful over the years by expanding their manufacturing 
services to include CNC multi-axis machining, engineering, robotic 
welding and mechanical assembly, and other full project services. I 
commend the JR Machine team for their sophisticated manufacturing 
capabilities and continued dedication to their work.
  For the past 30 years, JR Machine has remained successful by knowing 
the importance of producing quality products and providing top tier 
customer service. Beginning in 2000, JR Machine committed to the task 
of becoming ISO certified. Since achieving this milestone, they have 
earned an AS9100 certification for the aerospace industry and ITAR 
compliance for the defense industry. Through achieving these 
certifications, JR Machine has experienced significant growth and have 
become a major competitor in the industry. I applaud JR Machine for 
their continued growth and success.
  In support of their long-term growth, JR Machine is dedicated to 
developing a second-tier management team where they promote and train 
from within the company, highlighting their efforts to invest in their 
employees. JR Machine is a wonderful example of continuous improvement 
and a true credit to Shawano and all of Northeast Wisconsin.
  I invite all members of this body to join me in celebrating the 30th 
anniversary of JR Machine. I extend my sincerest congratulations to Tim 
and the entire JR Machine team and wish them lasting success for the 
next 30 years.
