JO BONNER\n\n                               of alabama\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                      Wednesday, December 6, 2006\n\n  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Arkema Inc.,\nAxis Plant on the completion of their 25th year.\n  For the past 25 years, the Axis plant has been an economically vital\ncontributor to both the town of Axis and the State of Alabama. The\nplant began operations in 1981 as M&T Chemicals, producing inorganic\nand organic tin compounds. After numerous expansions over the years,\nthe plant was purchased in 2004 by Arkema Inc., a global leader in the\nchemical production industry.\n  Since its inception, Arkema has earned a very respectable reputation\nas a world class chemicals producer. They have amassed nearly $7.3\nbillion in revenue and have over 18,400 employees in 40 different\ncountries. With such immense size and diversity, Arkema Inc. brings\ncountless opportunities to the people of the First Congressional\nDistrict.\n  In particular, the Axis plant specializes in producing a wide variety\nof chemical additives, such as heat stabilizers and impact modifiers.\nHeat stabilizers are compounds added to PVC to slow color development\nduring processing and extend the life of a product. Impact modifiers\nare added to PVC to make it less brittle and to increase its strength.\nThese products are used in everyday items such as hair dryers, plastic\npiping, and vinyl siding.\n  Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize the administration and\nstaff of the Arkema Inc., Axis Plant and their continuing leadership in\nthe chemical production industry. It is my sincere hope that they will\ncontinue to set highly commendable examples for others in their\nindustry, and I rise today to recognize and thank Arkema Inc., Axis\nPlant for its contributions to the local economy and to the quality of\nlife enjoyed in the State of Alabama.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2006-12-08-pt1-PgE2139-4"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 2.3023360408842564, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
