Connecticut Has a Supportive Aerospace & Defense Ecosystem

“We really analyzed other countries as well as other regions of the U.S.. We found the workforce we have here is second to none. And then our peers. We have a really strong supply chain of manufacturers in Connecticut, over 4,000 of manufacturers that are really very cooperative with one another. It’s just really unique. You don’t see that anywhere else in the world.”

 - Chris DiPentima, CEO Pegasus Manufacturing
