Thanks to Our Exhibitors
Last year, we were proud to host more than 40 leading manufacturers, including: ASML • Sikorsky/Lockheed Martin • PTA Plastics • Ashcroft • Microboard • Holo-Krome • RBC Bearings • Kubtec • and many more.
Together, these companies represent the strength of modern manufacturing — and the opportunities waiting for students and job seekers right here in Southwest Connecticut.
