In related news, OFR Metals recently welcomed U.S. Congressman Bob Goodlatte (VA-6), to its Lynchburg facility on Monday, January 28. The congressman received a tour of the 135,000 sq ft metal processing facility that is used to process carbon steel, stainless steel, and aluminum flat rolled products for manufacturers throughout Virginia and bordering states.
“It was great to visit with employees at O’Neal Flat Rolled Metals and see the work they are doing in the Sixth District. Not only do manufacturers like OFR Metals play an important role in our economy nationally, they also drive the economy in Central Virginia,” said Congressman Goodlatte.
During his time at OFR Metals, Congressman Goodlatte had the opportunity to hear questions and concerns about manufacturing in the U.S. and addressed some of these concerns by saying, “We must ensure that we are a nation where manufacturing will continue to thrive in order to create jobs and get our economy back on track. It is critical that the federal government promote policies that encourage innovation and allow companies to compete in the global economy.”
Pickett added, “The experience of having Congressman Goodlatte at our facility was an honor. We appreciate his support for manufacturing in the United States and in his district of Virginia.”
