HONORING MR. HERB HOMEYER FOR BEING NAMED THE 2015 NATIONAL TOOLING AND 
           MACHINING ASSOCIATION (NTMA) CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BLAINE LUETKEMEYER

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 10, 2015

  Mr. LUETKEMEYER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a constituent of 
mine, Mr. Herb Homeyer, President of Homeyer Precision Manufacturing in 
Marthasville, MO. Mr. Homeyer will be named the 2015 National Tooling 
and Machining Association (NTMA) Chairman of the Board on Thursday, 
March 5, 2015. As the national representative of the precision custom 
manufacturing industry, Mr. Homeyer will tell the story of the NTMA. 
Backed by nearly 2,000 members and representing more than $40 billion 
in sales, the clout collectively wielded by this association is 
considerable. NTMA serves as a valuable national resource for their 
members, helping them grow profitably.
  Homeyer Precision Manufacturing serves key clients in the industries 
of Aerospace/Defense, Commercial/Industrial, Military, Medical/
Pharmaceutical, Oil & Gas/Energy, Semiconductors/Lasers, Electrical/
Electronics, and Transportation/Agriculture. The company and its 63 
employees are also major supporters of Manufacturing Day. They opened 
their doors to over 150 students for a facility tour to help reach out 
to the next generation and to show what opportunities are available in 
manufacturing not only in their community, but in the United States.
  Herb Homeyer's 43 years in precision manufacturing began as a tool/
die maker, then a tool designer, and finally an owner of a company 
specializing in aerospace tooling, medical, laser components, and high 
voltage transmission.
  Homeyer Precision Manufacturing is one of over 1,400 companies that 
are members of the NTMA that supports U.S. manufacturing and creates 
employment opportunities in their communities. Tools, dies, molds, 
precision machining, and special machines shape virtually every single 
product that is mass manufactured in the United States. This industry 
is at the very heart of manufacturing in this country and therefore it 
touches the lives of every American.
  It is an honor to have the new chairman of the NTMA from not only my 
home state of Missouri, but also the 3rd District of Missouri.
