“Mr. President, today I wish to commemorate the 100th anniversary of Haley's Metal Shop, Inc., in Biddeford, ME. Spanning five generations, Haley's Metal Shop has successfully persisted through challenging economic swings and rapid technological advancements. In their 100 years of operation, Haley's Metal Shop has been an exemplary family-run small business. As such, I am proud to celebrate their 100 years of service in the Biddeford community and the State of Maine. Haley's Metal Shop began in 1917 when Robert Jordan founded his tinsmith business in Biddeford. Jordan trained his son-in-law, Joe Haley, in the trade, and together, they formed Jordan and Haley. When Jordan retired in the 1950s, Joe Haley took on his son, Tom. Joe and Tom expanded the business's scope to incorporate new innovations, like air conditioning, and changed the company name to Haley's Metal Work, Inc. When Joe's children, Joyce and Brian, came of age, they elected to join the family business too. The brother and sister made advancements in both the technical and administrative branches of their business. Today Brian, and son Matthew continue the five-generation family tradition of running the business together. Over the past 100 years, Haley's Metal Shop has grown and modernized to specialize in customized temperature regulation systems, including HVAC, central air, and geothermal heat and cooling, in addition to metal fabrication and sheet metal installations.…”
