HARTFORD- State Rep. Christie Carpino (Cromwell and Portland) attended Manufacturing & Technology Day at the State Capitol today.

Carpino met with her local manufacturer, Ripley Company, which designs and manufactures specialty tools used by folks who install cable television and run fiber-optic lines. She previously toured the facility and was impressed by both the products and employees.

More than forty Connecticut manufacturers exhibited their products and services at the State Capitol on Wednesday, May 15 as part of a Manufacturing & Technology Day celebration.

“With over 4,800 manufacturers that employ nearly 170,000 workers here in Connecticut alone, we must recognize that a strong manufacturing sector is an important part of both Connecticut and our nation’s economic success,” said Carpino.
