                            HONORING HOLTEC

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. THOMAS MacARTHUR

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 6, 2017

  Mr. MacARTHUR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an important 
South Jersey business. Holtec International creates and manufactures 
custom-engineered equipment for energy companies and nuclear reactors. 
Holtec has been based in South Jersey for over 30 years ago and has a 
world-class manufacturing facility on the banks of the Delaware River.
  Recently, Holtec opened up a new facility in Camden, New Jersey 
pledging to hire hundreds of people from the surrounding community. 
Holtec has shown it is invested in the future of the South Jersey 
community and its people by working with Camden County College to train 
welders and grow a highly-skilled work force from the local area.
  Holtec's investment in Camden brings hope to a struggling city. South 
Jersey is better off because of Holtec's pledge to the community. One 
local laborer even said he had been waiting his whole life for this.
  I'd also like to recognize the leadership of Holtec's President and 
CEO Dr. Kris Singh. None of this would be possible without him. Dr. 
Singh has led this company from its inception and helped it grow into 
the powerhouse it is today. Because of him, many South Jersey residents 
will have the opportunity to better their lives.
  Mr. Speaker, companies like Holtec that are dedicated to their 
community should be commended. They help expand our economy, create 
jobs and improve the lives of so many Americans. I'm grateful for the 
impact Holtec is having on South Jersey. And I know many of my 
constituents feel the same way.
