Congressional Record, Volume 171 Issue 53 (Monday, March 24, 2025) [Congressional Record Volume 171, Number 53 (Monday, March 24, 2025)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E244] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] CELEBRATING THE GRAND OPENING OF LIONSHEAD SPECIALTY TIRE AND WHEEL'S PARIS, TEXAS FACILITY ______ HON. PAT FALLON of texas in the house of representatives Monday, March 24, 2025 Mr. FALLON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the grand opening of Lionshead Specialty Tire and Wheel's newest facility in Paris, Texas. Since 1993, Lionshead has specialized in state-of-the-art contract manufacturing to produce and distribute a wide range of options for tires, wheels, and vehicle components for the trailer and recreational vehicle market nationwide. It is a family-owned business based in Goshen, Indiana, with facilities throughout Texas, North Carolina, Idaho, Georgia, and Minnesota. This new 120,000 square foot facility is a notable milestone for Lionshead and Paris, as it represents the culmination of years of dedication and $20 million dollars of investments in North Texas. Most importantly, it will create over 40 new jobs in the region within the next five years. I'm proud to recognize Lionshead for its continued commitment to uphold customer satisfaction and strengthen the economic success of Lamar County. I have requested the United States flag be flown over our Nation's Capitol to commemorate this historic occasion and critical investment for the people of the 4th District of Texas. I congratulate Lionshead, and I wish them the best. ____________________
