BY: Senator GRIFFO

 COMMEMORATING the 100th Anniversary of Rome Strip
 Steel Company

 WHEREAS, It is the custom of this Legislative Body to recognize and
pay tribute to those businesses and institutions whose longevity,
innovation, and commitment to excellence have enriched the economic
vitality and industrial heritage of the State of New York; and

 WHEREAS, Attendant to such concern, and fully in accord with its
longstanding traditions, this Legislative Body is justly proud to
commemorate the 100th Anniversary of Rome Strip Steel Company,
celebrating a century of service, innovation, and manufacturing
leadership since its founding in 1926; and

 WHEREAS, Rome Strip Steel Company was established in 1926 through
the vision and determination of Hazen B. Hinman, Sr., together with
Abraham Buol and Logan E. Page, with the support of the Rome Chamber of
Commerce and the citizens of Rome, New York, who recognized the
importance of industrial growth and economic opportunity for their
community; and

 WHEREAS, In July of 1926, the company began its journey with the
acquisition of the former Halstead Wire Company property on Henry Street
in Rome, where machinery was installed and preparations commenced for
the production of strip steel, laying the foundation for a manufacturing
enterprise that would endure for a century; and

 WHEREAS, From its modest beginnings as a producer of low-carbon cold
rolled strip steel serving the metal stamping industry of Upstate New
York, Rome Strip Steel Company steadily expanded its capabilities,
products, and markets through a commitment to quality, innovation, and
customer service; and

 WHEREAS, Through the leadership of the Hinman family, including
Hazen B. Hinman, Jr. and A. Buol Hinman, who joined the company during
the 1940s, Rome Strip Steel Company developed a reputation for
responsiveness to customer needs, versatility in manufacturing, and
excellence in specialized steel production; and

 WHEREAS, Over the course of its history, the company increased its
production capacity tenfold, expanded its product offerings to include
alloy, high-carbon, low-carbon, and high-strength low-alloy steels, and
earned recognition as one of the world's finest producers of
close-tolerance cold rolled strip steel; and

 WHEREAS, Rome Strip Steel Company continually invested in advanced
manufacturing technologies, laboratory facilities, quality-control
systems, and research initiatives, enabling the company to remain at the
forefront of precision steel production and to adapt successfully to
changing domestic and global markets; and

 WHEREAS, Through substantial reinvestment in plant facilities and
equipment during the latter decades of the twentieth century and beyond,

the company established and maintained some of the most modern cold
rolled strip steel mills in the world and became a recognized leader
within the specialty steel industry; and

 WHEREAS, For much of its history, Rome Strip Steel Company's
products supported New York State manufacturers and contributed
significantly to the industrial strength of communities throughout the
State, supplying materials used in office equipment, cash registers,
business machines, saw blades, hand tools, measuring devices, musical
instruments, and countless other products essential to everyday life and
commerce; and

 WHEREAS, As the company's reach expanded, Rome Strip Steel products
were distributed throughout North America and exported to customers
across the nation, supporting industries ranging from precision metal
stamping and automotive manufacturing to electronics, consumer products,
and industrial applications; and

 WHEREAS, Throughout its 100-year history, Rome Strip Steel Company
has remained steadfast in its commitment to producing the highest
quality products while fostering lasting relationships with customers,
suppliers, employ
