Optics Company to Unveil 51,000 sq. ft. Bedford Facility

Congresswoman Carol Shea-Porter will be on hand on Thursday, Aug. 29, when Vectronix, Inc. cuts the ribbon on its new 51,000 sq. ft. Bedford facility.

The manufacturing operation is located at 2 Cooper Lane.

Shea-Porter will also tour the plant and speak at the grand opening event on the importance of American manufacturing with workers and company leaders during a tour of the business.  

Vectronix Inc. is a leader in the development of military technology, including the development and manufacturing of integrated handheld, module, and precision systems for observation, detection, geo-positioning, and targeting solutions.

A release from Shea-Porter states the following:

As someone who paid her way through college by working on a factory floor, Congresswoman Shea-Porter knows firsthand just how crucial the American manufacturing industry is.  She is a founding member of Make it in America, a working group aimed at supporting manufacturing and encouraging companies to create good jobs in the U.S.A., and she has consistently supported legislation meant to revitalize the American manufacturing industry, grow the economy, and create high-wage jobs.  In April, Shea-Porter introduced the Buy American Accountability Act, legislation that would support U.S. manufacturing by ensuring government compliance with the Buy American Act of 1933.

Last week, Shea-Porter toured FoodState Inc., a Derry-based manufacturer and distributor of whole food nutritional supplements. On the tour, she spoke with company leaders about how to grow the American manufacturing sector and support high-skill, high-wage jobs in New Hampshire.
