Manufacturing Executive Council (MEC)
Exclusive access for ManufactureCT Members
Elite Collaboration. Proven Growth.
Our Manufacturer Executive leadership Peer Group was founded in 2015 informally and has grown into a highly-valued opportunity to learn best practices and share new ideas and strategies at the executive level that can help manage employees and grow the company.
Entrance into this peer group is by invitation only, with available space reserved for ManufactureCT manufacturing member companies in good standing. This manufacturing executive peer group meets 11 months per year (Jan-Dec., skipping August). Meeting locations are hosted at various members’ locations as well as via zoom. The access fee is $995.
“Having been a member of the Manufacturing Executives Peer Group since its inception in 2015, I’ve built long-term relationships with fellow Connecticut manufacturing leaders and gained a deep understanding of the unique challenges and opportunities we all face. As a business leader, having this trusted network available—whether I’m stuck on a tough decision or eager to share a success story—consistently sparks open, mutually beneficial discussions that help everyone involved grow stronger.”
– Larry Smith | President of Hubbel Heaters

- Solve Complex Challenges: Discuss high-level strategies for workforce management, supply chain resilience, and operational scaling.
- Expand Your Network: Build deep, trust-based relationships with a vetted cohort of non-competing manufacturing peers.
