Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 105 (Tuesday, June 23, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 105 (Tuesday, June 23, 2026)] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page E602] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING ENTEGRIS, INC. AND THEIR CONTRIBUTIONS TO MINNESOTA'S 6TH DISTRICT ______ HON. TOM EMMER of minnesota in the house of representatives Tuesday, June 23, 2026 Mr. EMMER. Mr. Speaker, today, I rise to recognize and celebrate the 60th anniversary of Entegris, Inc., a global leader in advanced materials and process solutions for the semiconductor industry. On September 13, 1966, Fluoroware, Inc. was incorporated in the State of Minnesota to serve the emerging microelectronics industry. From its founding, Fluoroware pioneered the development of high-purity polymer products essential to semiconductor manufacturing and would ultimately grow and evolve into the company we know today as Entegris--a name now synonymous with continuous innovation, a deep commitment to customers and a focus on enabling the world's most advanced technologies. Over six decades, Entegris has expanded its capabilities through the development of new technologies, strategic partnerships, and disciplined growth. Today, the company serves logic and memory semiconductor device manufacturers, semiconductor equipment makers, and other high-technology industries. Its products and solutions are critical to the most advanced manufacturing processes in the world, ensuring the purity, precision, and performance that underpin modern semiconductor fabrication. I am particularly proud of the deep connection between Entegris and the State of Minnesota. Entegris maintains a significant operational presence at facilities in Chaska and Bloomington, Minnesota--along with locations in 11 states and 12 countries--supporting high-skilled jobs in advanced manufacturing and engineering that strengthen our local economy. Entegris also plays an essential role in strengthening our Nation's semiconductor supply chain--vital to economic growth, national security, and technological leadership--and is actively contributing to efforts to build a more resilient domestic manufacturing base. Beyond its technological contributions, Entegris has demonstrated a strong commitment to corporate social responsibility and community engagement. The Entegris Foundation partners with universities across the country to provide STEM scholarships and workforce development programs, and the company works with local schools and community organizations to offer volunteer services and charitable support. Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues to join me in congratulating Entegris on 60 years of American excellence, innovation, and commitment to community. What started as a small Minnesota company serving the nascent microelectronics industry, has grown into a global enterprise whose products are indispensable to the technologies that power modern life. May the next 60 years continue to build upon this strong foundation, and may Entegris continue to lead in strengthening our Nation's technological capabilities and economic prosperity. ____________________
