IN RECOGNITION OF THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF GLC MINERALS LLC

______

HON. MIKE GALLAGHER

of wisconsin

in the house of representatives

Friday, May 28, 2021

Mr. GALLAGHER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor GLC Minerals LLC as they celebrate their 150th anniversary.

GLC Minerals is a Green Bay based, custom manufacturer of minerals and applications in its fifth generation of ownership and operation by the Hurlbut family. GLC Minerals services many of Wisconsin's key industries, including dairy, poultry, glass, paper, construction, and agronomy.

The company came from humble beginnings when entrepreneur Fred Hurlbut Sr. saw the potential for a business located in Green Bay. Fred saw the convenience in shipping and transportation that the Great Lakes offered businesses, and in 1871 Fred's foresight came to fruition as the Hurlbut Calcium and Chemical Company. In 1913, second-generation owner Fred Hurlbut Jr. grew the company to include major coal and bulk distribution throughout Northeast Wisconsin.

In 1940 The F. Hurlbut Company relocated to the shores of the Fox River where it still resides today, 81 years later. Throughout the mid-

1900s the company expanded its equipment and product line leading to a fitting name change of the ``Great Lakes Calcium Corporation.''

In 2015 Wesley Hurlbut Gamer I, fifth-generation family member to own the company, made the final name change to GLC Minerals, LLC. However, this was not simply a name change. Wes continued in his forefather's footsteps and expanded the business again to serve our dairy industry with the cost-effective movement of product from rail to truck and farm.

GLC Minerals continues to grow and support our local business community and the broader Green Bay community, helping to establish and support the Greater Green Bay Chamber of Commerce.

Madam Speaker, I urge all members of this body to join me in applauding GLC Minerals and the Hurlbut family for their 150 years of success
