Manufacturer Meets with State Legislator



(l-r) Sirois Tool President Alan Ortner recently met with Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz.

Sirois Tool President Alan Ortner met with Majority Leader Joe Aresimowicz recently after inviting him for a meeting and plant tour. They discussed fiscal and regulatory issues that affect small manufacturers in Connecticut like Sirois Tool. Aresimowicz works on behalf of manufacturers on many of the issues that can help them develop and grow advanced manufacturing in Connecticut.

With the help of a state grant Sirois Tool received a few years ago, Ortner was able to build an addition to its manufacturing facility. The Sirois Tool expansion allows for continued capabilities improvements for customers, including the new electrical discharge machining (EDM) and wire EDM equipment.

Touring the plant with Aresimowicz to see Sirois Tool's enhanced capabilities was his legislative advisor Liz Connelly, and CBIA's (Connecticut Business and Industry Association) Bonnie Stewart and Nicole Cline. CBIA advocates for Connecticut's businesses at the State Capitol to promote and protect the state's economy.

"Many state resources and programs are dedicated to helping manufacturers expand operations, make new equipment purchases, and grow their workforce. Resources that help small manufacturers to improve, transform, and grow their business also create new jobs," said a company spokesperson.

"As a first step in this process, Ortner directly engages with his state legislators, letting them know how government can better work for manufacturers. Working together, government agencies and the manufacturing industry can strengthen and change Connecticut's manufacturing climate," continued the spokesperson.
