Patterson, NY – [October 2, 2025] – REELEX Packaging Solutions Inc., a global leader in packaging machinery manufacturing and export for the cable and wire industry, welcomed Congressman Mike Lawler to its Patterson, New York facility today for a tour of its manufacturing floor and a discussion on U.S. manufacturing.
Congressman Lawler’s visit highlighted REELEX’s role as both an innovator and exporter, with a strong workforce that includes veterans and skilled trades professionals. The Congressman toured the company’s production floor, where REELEX engineers and technicians design and build patented packaging systems exported worldwide.
David Gerhart, CEO of REELEX, underscored the importance of supportive tax and economic policies to keep New York State manufacturers competitive:
“As a manufacturer and exporter based in New York State, we’re proud to contribute to U.S. economic strength through innovation, skilled jobs, veteran employees, and international trade. The new tax policy, especially as it relates to SALT reductions, bonus depreciation, and expensing of R&D will enhance our ability to invest in new technologies and grow our business. While increasing healthcare costs and premiums remain a challenging economic headwind, we are grateful for Congressman Lawler’s dedication to developing policies at the national level that help bring clarity at the state level.”
Gerhart pointed out that REELEX has been investing heavily in the safe operation of its products, training employee partners, and developing the next generation workforce.
“Anything the government, either state or federal, can do to encourage those activities aligns with the interests of employers in the State of New York,” Gerhart said.
Congressman Lawler praised REELEX for its innovation and contribution to the region, noting the importance of policies that sustain small and mid-sized manufacturers who are vital to the U.S. economy.
