                        Tuesday, April 18, 2023

  Mr. KIM of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an integral 
company within New Jersey's Third District, Inductotherm, and the 
legacy of their founder, Henry Rowan, as part of their 70th anniversary 
celebration taking place this year.
  In his life Henry was guided by a deep sense of determination and an 
entrepreneurial spirit. He began his first business at age nine, 
raising chickens and selling eggs. Even at that young age he was 
passionate about his work. He carried this same passion for hard work 
throughout his career including serving as a trained bomber pilot in 
the Army Air Corps during World War II before returning home and 
founding Inductotherm, wanting the opportunity to apply his own new 
ideas to induction furnace design. He was also dedicated to using the 
profits of Inductotherm to give back to others, most notably to 
southern New Jersey's own Rowan University, and the very communities in 
which Inductotherm's network operates.
  Since their original founding in 1958, the Inductotherm Group has 
expanded, ensuring their customers can obtain a broad range of products 
and services to meet the needs of every industry, and in over 20 
countries around the world. While Inductotherm began simply, with its 
first order being built in Henry Rowan's garage, the company has become 
a staple of New Jersey's Third District over the past 70 years as well 
as a global leader in thermal processing technologies.
  We are proud to celebrate the legacy of Henry Rowan and the 
accomplishments of Inductotherm throughout their 70-year history. I 
look forward to all they will continue to accomplish and wish them many 
more years of notable milestones and success.
