Manufacturing

Manufacturing has been the backbone of Central Connecticut’s economy for over 200 years. Our manufacturing communities today include hundreds of businesses - some large and most small to medium-sized industries, many of which have fewer than 200 employees. They manufacture all sorts of things including custom furniture, springs, glass and matt cutters, jewelry, building products, alarms, wire and cables, aircraft components, locks, metal fasteners - the list is a long and very diverse.

The Central Connecticut Chambers of Commerce is focused on improving the business climate for area manufacturers. We continue to increase elected officials' knowledge of manufacturing's needs and problems and help provide a pool of good, skilled people willing to work in industry by providing tours of local industries with elected officials and field trips to area manufacturers to exhibit available employment opportunities for junior high and high school students.
