Thompson Creek Windows hosted a visit from President Barack Obama on Friday January 7, 2011, for a tour of their manufacturing facility in Landover, MD with Rick Wuest, President and CEO. Thompson Creek Windows served as a backdrop for the President’s remarks on the latest unemployment statistics along with announcing several White House appointments.
During his visit, President Obama commented on the company’s success. "It is wonderful to be here at Thompson Creek, and I want to thank Rick for showing me how you manufacture more efficient windows at this factory," the President said in his remarks. "Building this business has been an extraordinary accomplishment for the Wuest family. And it speaks not only to him -- it also speaks to all the employees here today, the hardworking men and women who make this company work. And it speaks to the promise of America. It’s the idea that if you’ve got a dream and you’re willing to work hard, then you can succeed."
