HONORING O&G INDUSTRIES ON THE OCCASION OF THEIR CENTENNIAL ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ROSA L. DeLAURO

                             of connecticut

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, November 6, 2023

  Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Speaker, it gives me great pleasure to rise today to 
extend my heartfelt congratulations to O&G Industries as they mark 
their centennial anniversary. For one hundred years, O&G has been a 
leader in Connecticut's construction industry, and today their 
expertise covers a wide range of projects from healthcare, where the 
site must be kept impeccably clean and quiet, to major highway 
interchanges, where commuter traffic presents a unique variable that 
must be constantly managed.
  Founded in 1923 by Andrew Oneglia and Flaviano Gervasini, O&G 
Industries is a fourth-generation family-owned company. Its founders 
set out to build a small business based on the principles of quality 
service and excellence in craftsmanship. Their company culture was 
deeply rooted in a dedication to family values--a commitment that still 
exists today.
  For nearly six decades, O&G has consistently ranked as one of the 
country's top 400 construction companies by Engineering News Record and 
is one of the Northeast's largest privately-owned construction 
companies. With a product portfolio that ranges from the distribution 
of aggregates, concrete, asphalt, and specialty products, O&G utilizes 
its network of six quarries, eight concrete plants, and nine asphalt 
plants as well as its comprehensive and well-maintained company-owned 
equipment inventories to meet the varying needs of its clients.
  From building and road construction services to mason products and 
construction materials, O&G is a recognized and respected industry 
leader. Yet, O&G's contributions extend far beyond their building and 
construction projects. From toy drives to supporting the American 
Cancer Society, their employees engaged in their local communities, 
contributing thousands of volunteer hours and support for nonprofit and 
civic organizations each year.
  Today, O&G Industries is led by Executive Vice Chairman, Raymond R. 
(Ray) Oneglia,

who I am honored to call a friend. Ray has often hosted me at project 
sites, where I could see firsthand the impact of federal investments, 
particularly in transportation. Over the years, we have developed a 
friendship based on respect and a shared commitment to community. Ray 
is skillfully leading O&G Industries into a second century of success, 
and I am so pleased to have this opportunity to congratulate him and 
his team on this remarkable milestone. As we say in Italian--C'ent 
Anni.
