RECOGNIZING MORGAN SMITH INDUSTRIES, LLC

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 127 (Tuesday, August 4, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 127 (Tuesday, August 4, 2026)] [Senate] [Page S4430] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] RECOGNIZING MORGAN SMITH INDUSTRIES, LLC Mr. PAUL. Madam President, as a member of the Senate Committee on Small Business and Entrepreneurship, I would like to recognize an outstanding Kentucky small business that exemplifies the American entrepreneurial spirit. It is my privilege to recognize Morgan Smith Industries, LLC of Columbia, KY, as my Senate Small Business of the Week. Morgan Smith Industries, LLC is a family-owned architectural millwork, custom cabinetry, casework, furniture, and interior construction manufacturer whose roots in Kentucky craftsmanship span nearly eight decades. The company's history began in 1948 when Willis D. McCammish and his son Doug McCammish established a small cabinet and countertop business in Winchester, KY. Through hard work, quality craftsmanship, and a commitment to serving their customers, the business expanded into commercial architectural millwork, institutional cabinetry, and contract furniture, earning a reputation for excellence throughout the Commonwealth. In 2012, the company entered a new chapter when J. Andrew ``Andy'' Keith and his nephew Jonathan Keith acquired the business and continued its tradition of family ownership while building upon its legacy of quality and service. Today, Morgan Smith Industries employs approximately 30 skilled Kentuckians and continues to invest in the workforce and economy of Adair County. By combining experienced craftsmanship with modern manufacturing techniques, Morgan Smith Industries has become one of Kentucky's premier producers of architectural millwork and custom interior furnishings. The quality of Morgan Smith Industries' work can be found in some of Kentucky's most significant public and private facilities. The company has completed projects for universities, public schools, courthouses, healthcare facilities, government buildings, and commercial developments across the Commonwealth. Among its notable projects are the new Adair County Middle School, the Lexington Federal Courthouse, and the Kentucky State Capitol. Congratulations to Andy Keith, Jonathan Keith, and the entire team at Morgan Smith Industries, LLC. I look forward to their continued growth and success in the Commonwealth of Kentucky. ____________________
