                     RECOGNIZING LATTICE MATERIALS

 Mr. SHEEHY. Madam President, it is my honor today to recognize 
a true Montana manufacturing and industry innovator: Lattice Materials.
  From their beginnings in Bozeman, MT, to a globally recognized, U.S.-
based manufacturer of silicon and germanium parts, Lattice Materials is 
a trusted go-to partner for the most difficult and high-risk projects. 
Lattice Materials serves mission-critical supply chains by 
manufacturing components used in infrared optics, thermal imaging, 
laser systems, semiconductors, and military defense technologies.
  Lattice Materials also continues to invest in Montana. Their new 
80,000-square-foot facility in Bozeman will create 50 new jobs over the 
next 3 years and provide the necessary infrastructure to respond to 
increased demand for critical optical components while supporting a 
stronger, more secure U.S. supply chain. Without question, Lattice 
Materials is helping transform Montana into a national hub for advanced 
manufacturing and photonics.
  As Lattice Materials continues to invest in Montana, fortify our 
critical minerals supply chain, and ensure U.S. military readiness, I 
am proud to take this opportunity to recognize their innovation and 
contributions to Montana and the country. Lattice Materials' innovation 
and commitment to Montana manufacturing deserve our 
recognition.
