Ruppersberger to Recognize Growth, Job Creation at Baltimore Steel Manufacturer

New laser at Marlin Steel used on national security projects

(Baltimore, MD) Congressman C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger (D-MD) today will attend a ribbon cutting for a new business-boosting laser at Marlin Steel in Baltimore. The American-made laser was used last week to cut stainless steel parts for a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier, electrical equipment that will be used by the National Security Agency as well as parts to keep servers cool at Amazon and Google data centers.

The laser is expected to help Marlin create jobs in Baltimore City. Marlin was recently named one of the fastest-growing inner city companies in the country.

“Marlin Steel may export around the world, but it remains a true citizen of Baltimore, hiring locally and providing employees with decent wages and benefits,” Congressman Ruppersberger said. “Its growth will provide not only more quality jobs for Maryland families, but the research and development that will power our economy forward.”
