[Congressional Record (Bound Edition), Volume 159 (2013), Part 13] [Extensions of Remarks] [Page 18394] [From the U.S. Government Publishing Office, www.gpo.gov]CONGRATULATING ERIE FOODS INTERNATIONAL ON THEIR 75TH ANNIVERSARY ______ HON. CHERI BUSTOS of illinois in the house of representatives Tuesday, December 10, 2013 Mrs. BUSTOS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Erie Foods International in Erie, Illinois, on the occasion of their 75th anniversary. Erie Foods International manufactures ingredients that are used in many different brands of nutritional beverages and bars, dairy products, sports drinks, coffee and more. Founded as Erie Casein Dryers in 1938 by Arden and Marjorie Reisenbigler, Erie Foods is truly a family business. The company is currently run by their son, David Reisenbigler, whose older brother was CEO for five years beginning in 1977 and whose son and sister also work for Erie Foods. In the past 75 years, Erie Foods has grown to a global company, with 194 employees worldwide, including 33 in Erie. Additionally, Erie Foods makes it a point to buy from local dairies at many of their plants and donates a portion of their profits to charitable organizations. CEO David Reisenbigler explains that ``we want to be more than a company that just takes profits. We want to improve the communities where we are.'' Mr. Speaker, I want to again congratulate Erie Foods International for reaching this impressive milestone and I wish them even more success over the next 75 years. ____________________
