OUR HISTORY
Founded in 1913, ManufactureCT, (formerly New Haven Manufacturers Association) is among the longest-running industry groups to serve manufacturers in the United States.
In 2019, ManufactureCT celebrated entry into its second century by officially becoming a statewide forum for community and business leaders focused on sharing perspectives from inside manufacturing facilities to build collective strength for the sector.
Over the years, we have cheered on member companies as they have achieved significant milestones, including induction into the American Manufacturers Hall of Fame. All the while, involvement in our programs has helped their individual representatives develop professionally.
Members are mostly manufacturers with advanced manufacturing capabilities. Our directory spans firms that make precision instruments for medical and aerospace industries, security devices for information systems, specialty chemicals, fixtures in metals, plastics, and other materials using a range of technologies and processes from 3D printing to traditional stamping and machine tooling, and more. Some have been operating as family businesses for several generations, others are larger, multinational corporations.
Non-manufacturing members add value to the manufacturing sector, agreeing to follow our “non-selling” approach. Together, we comprise a convening, advocacy and information-sharing network unavailable anywhere else, with a significant collective impact on the state’s economy.
