                         Tuesday, July 25, 2023

  Mr. WILLIAMS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Morse 
Manufacturing Company, Inc. as it celebrates its 100th Anniversary this 
year.
  Morse Manufacturing was incorporated on August 15, 1923. It was first 
located at 402 S. Franklin Street in the City of Syracuse, New York, 
and then quickly relocated to Dickerson Street. Ralph Andrews joined 
Morse Manufacturing in 1943, developed a product to safely handle 
drums, and purchased the company from the founder in 1948. In 1953 the 
company was moved to East Syracuse.
  Robert Andrews, son of Ralph Andrews, joined Morse Manufacturing in 
1969. Robert continued to grow and enhance a product offering to safely 
handle drums that was initiated by his father, and also expanded the 
building several times at the East Syracuse location.
  Nathan Andrews, grandson of Ralph Andrews, joined Morse Manufacturing 
in 2002 and continued the family tradition of commitment and dedication 
through developing new international distribution and modernizing the 
operations at a new facility in the Town of Salina in 2019.
  Today, Morse Manufacturing offers the most extensive line of high-
quality drum handling equipment anywhere in the world and markets its 
products through an elite worldwide dealer network. The longstanding 
success of Morse Manufacturing is largely because of the quality of its 
employees. It has provided hundreds of employees and their families 
with careers and job security over its history. Morse Manufacturing and 
its employees have continued to give back to the Central New York 
Community through volunteer work and contributions.
  Morse Manufacturing takes pride in sourcing as much as possible from 
local suppliers with long established relationships. This makes Morse 
Manufacturing a net revenue generator for the Central New York Economy, 
bringing revenues from products sold around the country and world to 
spend locally through wages, taxes, and local suppliers.
  On behalf of New York's 22nd Congressional District, I would like to 
congratulate Morse Manufacturing on the occasion of its 100th 
Anniversary. I wish them continued success for many years to come.
