                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 23, 2026

  Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize and celebrate the 
60th anniversary of Entegris, Inc., a global leader in advanced 
materials and process solutions for the semiconductor industry. On 
September 13, 1966, Fluoroware, Inc. was incorporated in the State of 
Minnesota to serve the emerging microelectronics industry. From its 
founding, Fluoroware pioneered the development of high-purity polymer 
products essential to semiconductor manufacturing and would ultimately 
grow and evolve into the company we know today as Entegris--a name now 
synonymous with continuous innovation, a deep commitment to customers 
and a focus on enabling the world's most advanced technologies.
  Over six decades, Entegris has expanded its capabilities through the 
development of new technologies, strategic partnerships, and 
disciplined growth. Today, the company serves logic and memory 
semiconductor device manufacturers, semiconductor equipment makers, and 
other high-technology industries. Its products and solutions are 
critical to the most advanced manufacturing processes in the world, 
ensuring the purity, precision, and performance that underpin modern 
semiconductor fabrication.
  I am particularly proud of the deep connection between Entegris and 
the State of Minnesota. Entegris maintains a significant operational 
presence at facilities in Chaska and Bloomington, Minnesota--along with 
locations in 11 states and 12 countries--supporting high-skilled jobs 
in advanced manufacturing and engineering that strengthen our local 
economy. Entegris also plays an essential role in strengthening our 
Nation's semiconductor supply chain--vital to economic growth, national 
security, and technological leadership--and is actively contributing to 
efforts to build a more resilient domestic manufacturing base.
  Beyond its technological contributions, Entegris has demonstrated a 
strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and community 
engagement. The Entegris Foundation partners with universities across 
the country to provide STEM scholarships and workforce development 
programs, and the company works with local schools and community 
organizations to offer volunteer services and charitable support.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
Entegris on 60 years of American excellence, innovation, and commitment 
to community. What started as a small Minnesota company serving the 
nascent microelectronics industry, has grown into a global enterprise 
whose products are indispensable to the technologies that power modern 
life. May the next 60 years continue to build upon this strong 
foundation, and may Entegris continue to lead in strengthening our 
Nation's technological capabilities and economic prosperity.
