A house RESOLUTION

TO RECOGNIZE 3M GREENVILLE AT THE CELEBRATION OF ITS FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF MANUFACTURING IN SOUTH CAROLINA AND TO CONGRATULATE THE COMPANY ON A HALF-CENTURY OF SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS ENDEAVORS IN THIS GREAT STATE.

Whereas, the South Carolina House of Representatives is pleased to learn that the 3M Greenville Manufacturing Site is celebrating the business's half-century mark in 2025; and

Whereas, a global innovation company that never stops inventing, 3M over the years has worked to improve daily life for hundreds of millions of people all over the world. 3M has made driving at night easier; buildings safer; and consumer electronics lighter, less energy-intensive, and less harmful to the environment. 3M has even helped put a man on the moon; and

Whereas, 3M Greenville, located on one hundred acres of 3M property, consists of two distinct manufacturing plants within the Electronics and Energy Business Group and Industrial Business Group: the Film Plant and Tape Plant. The Film Plant produces a wide variety of polyester films, which are used in many 3M products by several divisions of 3M Company; the Tape Plant produces box sealing tapes and polypropylene films. These films are used as backing for box sealing tapes, whitening strips, and other consumer applications; and

Whereas, because the company believes strongly in giving back to its surrounding community, 3M Greenville actively supports many community enrichment organizations and programs in the Greenville area, including United Way, Junior Achievement, 3M Community Impact Grants, 3M Ingenuity Grants, and educational scholarships; and

Whereas, appreciative of its contributions to the prosperity of the Palmetto State, the House of Representatives takes great pleasure in honoring 3M Greenville on the occasion of the business's fiftieth anniversary, and the members extend best wishes for continued success in the years to come. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the House of Representatives:

That the members of the South Carolina House of Representatives, by this resolution, recognize 3M Greenville at the celebration of its fiftieth anniversary of manufacturing in South Carolina and congratulate the company on a half-century of successful business endeavors in this great State.

Be it further resolved that a copy of this resolution be presented to 3M Greenville.
