                         Friday, March 8, 2024

  Mr. WILLIAMS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased today to honor 
Indium Corporation as it celebrates its 90th Anniversary on March 13 of 
this year.
  Founded in 1934 by Dr. William S. Murray, Indium Corporation first 
operated from his garage at 805 Watson Place in Utica, New York. Dr. 
Murray was instrumental in identifying and enabling the first 
commercially viable applications for indium metal.
  Today, Indium Corporation is a premier materials refiner, smelter, 
manufacturer and supplier to the global electronics, semiconductor, 
thin-film, and thermal management markets. With five facilities in New 
York's 22nd Congressional District and several located internationally, 
Indium Corporation is a global leader in materials science and 
electronics assembly solutions. Indium's innovative products can be 
found in many common consumer electronics and high-reliability 
technologies such as electric vehicles, mobile devices, life-saving 
medical devices, and emerging 5G technology.
  Beyond Indium Corporation's role as a manufacturer, the company 
bolsters local educational resources through STEM (science, technology, 
engineering, and mathematics) outreach partnerships with schools, 
universities, and community organizations, impacting the lives of more 
than 5,000 students each year. Indium's award-winning college 
internship program, inaugurated in 2012, has led to careers in STEM 
fields for over 100 students.
  In addition, Indium Corporation initiated a pioneering apprenticeship 
program, aiding employees who are seeking to learn new skills and 
pursue higher education and assisting military veterans with making 
successful transitions to private sector careers. The company recently 
celebrated its first graduates.
  Indium is committed to giving back to the community through the 
support of many charitable and quality-of-life organizations including 
the American Red Cross, Stuff the Bus, ICAN, United Way, Support Our 
Vets, and the American Heart Association. The company and its leaders 
have been honored by the Oneida County History Center, YWCA, MACNY, 
Mohawk Valley Alliance of Chambers of Commerce, and the Genesis Group.
  On behalf of New York's 22nd Congressional District, I would like to 
congratulate Indium Corporation on the occasion of its 90th 
Anniversary. I wish them continued success for many years to come.
