For the past 100 years, people in St. Marys, Pennsylvania, have been producing light for the world. Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to visit the LEDVANCE manufacturing facility and visit with employees. St. Marys is located at the eastern edge of the Allegheny National Forest in the Pennsylvania Fifth District. It is a town this has a rich and storied history of being a leader in manufacturing. The LEDVANCE facility in St. Marys manufactures nearly 2 million incandescent and halogen light bulbs--and soon, LED light bulbs--each day, in 1,700 packages and varieties. Its employees are skilled, knowledgeable, an dedicated to their craft. They are producing state- of-the-art lighting solutions right in the heart of north central Pennsylvania. LEDVANCE has locations throughout North America and is a global leader in advancing light with LED, traditional and smart lighting, and accessories. It was a privilege to tour the St. Marys facility and meet with the talented local employees who work diligently each day to produce a quality product. Congratulations to our workforce in St. Marys on 100 years of knowledge and expertise to advance light around the world. ____________________
