RECOGNIZING MORGAN SMITH INDUSTRIES, LLC
Mr. PAUL. Madam President, as a member of the Senate Committee
on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, I would like to recognize an
outstanding Kentucky small business that exemplifies the American
entrepreneurial spirit. It is my privilege to recognize Morgan Smith
Industries, LLC of Columbia, KY, as my Senate Small Business of the
Week.
Morgan Smith Industries, LLC is a family-owned architectural
millwork, custom cabinetry, casework, furniture, and interior
construction manufacturer whose roots in Kentucky craftsmanship span
nearly eight decades. The company's history began in 1948 when Willis
D. McCammish and his son Doug McCammish established a small cabinet and
countertop business in Winchester, KY. Through hard work, quality
craftsmanship, and a commitment to serving their customers, the
business expanded into commercial architectural millwork, institutional
cabinetry, and contract furniture, earning a reputation for excellence
throughout the Commonwealth. In 2012, the company entered a new chapter
when J. Andrew ``Andy'' Keith and his nephew Jonathan Keith acquired
the business and continued its tradition of family ownership while
building upon its legacy of quality and service.
Today, Morgan Smith Industries employs approximately 30 skilled
Kentuckians and continues to invest in the workforce and economy of
Adair County. By combining experienced craftsmanship with modern
manufacturing techniques, Morgan Smith Industries has become one of
Kentucky's premier producers of architectural millwork and custom
interior furnishings. The quality of Morgan Smith Industries' work can
be found in some of Kentucky's most significant public and private
facilities. The company has completed projects for universities, public
schools, courthouses, healthcare facilities, government buildings, and
commercial developments across the Commonwealth. Among its notable
projects are the new Adair County Middle School, the Lexington Federal
Courthouse, and the Kentucky State Capitol.
Congratulations to Andy Keith, Jonathan Keith, and the entire team at
Morgan Smith Industries, LLC. I look forward to their continued growth
and success in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.
