Upon making the decision to expand and upgrade our facility and equipment, plenty of time was spent on researching the right town to move to. We did extensive research in the areas of building our own building through a land purchase as compared to buying pre-existing property. We also checked with other city and town officials as to what assistance could be offered.
Our decision to purchase in New Britain has been a great choice. Our customers were familiar with the city, great transit ability and an excellent workforce.
The City of New Britain and the New Britain Chamber took on a hands on approach that made us feel extremely comfortable. The personal attention went a long way in our decision process.

Being out of state and beginning a new business was at times very overwhelming. Everything was new to us since we had never been through a major rehabilitation and business start-up. Officials throughout the city gave us recommendations and guidance and city staff worked with us all the way. Even the assistance we received for our grand opening was more than we expected. New Britain was a great choice for our family business.
Upon making the final determination to build a new manufacturing facility, our company representatives, and consulting group narrowed our choices to Connecticut, New York and Pennsylvania. Our visit to New Britain blew the competition away with their information presented, and the professional staff on hand to answer all of our questions. Their commitment to get the job done and relationships with the State of Connecticut officials, employment and training personnel was impressive. Superior service and a willingness to work with our company needs made all the difference.
