Utility Systems Technologies, Inc. will ship its 1,000th unit to a major American rail transport company later this month. This marks a major milestone in the Latham-based company’s 23-year history.

Congressman Paul Tonko, U.S. representative for New York's 20th congressional district, will attend an Aug. 18 event at UST’s Watervliet office to commemorate this event. Tonko congratulated UST on reaching this milestone, and added, “I look forward to many more years of success and contributions to the Capital Region economy. Small businesses like this are the lifeblood of our region, providing good-paying jobs, and a great source of pride for our communities.”
