Rep. Linehan 'Adopted' by Marion Manufacturing

From the Office of the Representative: State Rep. Liz Linehan (D-Cheshire/Southington/Wallingford) visited Marion Manufacturing in Cheshire today to take a tour of the facilities and discuss proposals to support the growth of manufacturing in Connecticut.

Rep. Linehan is participating in the Connecticut Business and Industry Association’s Adopt a Legislator Program, and has been “adopted” by Marion Manufacturing. The goal of the program is for paired businesses and legislators to remain in contact with each other throughout the legislative session. Companies provide updates on their business and feedback on business-related proposals being considered by the General Assembly.

“My door is always open for business owners who have ideas about how we can promote job growth and economic development in Connecticut. As the legislature looks at proposals to better train our workforce and assist small businesses, input from business owners is invaluable,” Rep. Linehan said. “I’d like to thank Marion Manufacturing for welcoming me to their facility today, and I look forward to continuing to discuss how we can make Connecticut a leader in manufacturing.”

“Marion Manufacturing is excited to have the opportunity to ‘adopt’ Rep. Linehan. We appreciate her interest in our company and her commitment to helping Connecticut small businesses thrive,” Douglas Johnson, President of Marion Manufacturing said. “The success of manufacturers is key to our state’s future economic health, and we need to continue the conversation about how Connecticut can best support the expansion of the manufacturing industry.”

Marion Manufacturing Company was founded in 1946 as a progressive die stamper and today is a leader in progressive die stamping components. Marion designs and builds all tooling in house.
