New manufacturing facility for MicroCare

A new MicroCare Corp. manufacturing facility opened earlier this month on Production Ct. in New Britain, Connecticut. Consisting of 15,000ft² of manufacturing space, a quality lab, and offices, approximately 12 employees will work in the new location with expectations to expand to around 25 within the next few years.

A ribbon cutting ceremony was held with the ribbon cut by New Britain Mayor, Erin Stewart, assisted by MicroCare Chief Operating Officer Tom Tattersall. Also in attendance was Jay Tourigny, senior vice president, and Heather Gombos, vice president-operations.

Founded in 1983 in Bristol, Connecticut, MicroCare formulated and packaged aerosol cleaners for the electronics industry, gradually expanding into other markets. With a move to its primary manufacturing center on John Downey Dr. in New Britain in 2000, the facility has been operating at full capacity so there was need for additional space to expand operations. The Production Ct. location is the company’s fifth operating facility, including a large logistics center in Rocky Hill, North Carolina, and warehouses in Singapore and Brussels.

“The new facility is a big, multi-million dollar bet on our future, our people and our town,” Tattersall says. “We are proof that manufacturing can survive and prosper in America.”

“We are thrilled that MicroCare has chosen to increase their presence in our City,” states Mayor Erin. E. Stewart. “We know that when our local businesses thrive, our community prospers. I’d like to congratulate MicroCare on their success and wish them continued growth.”

Since 1983, MicroCare has been the leading manufacturer of cost-effective, MicroCare products are used in a wide variety of industries, such as electronics, metal finishing, transportation, fiber optics, medical devices, and aerospace, and products are shipped globally.
