AMEP has provided us with resources that we would otherwise have not been able to access. The interaction and awareness that comes from these meetings has had a huge impact on our company’s ability to hire talent.

David Parmelee, President, Wepco Plastics

Not only do they have access to the latest technology and manufacturing processes but also have the technical staff to help figure out what it is you actually need.

Erik Herold, Lead Mechanical Engineer, Dynamo Micropower

As a company known for innovation in the development of advanced manufacturing systems, we recognize CCAT's research and manufacturing technology expertise.

Richard Grylls, Ph.D., LENS General Manager, Optomec

It's thanks to the initial grant funding and the encouragement of the CCAT staff that we were able to push through the early challenges and deliver our award-winning GPS Pro to market. The resources available to us as part of the CCAT Incubator Program have enabled us to move out of the basement and into a real office.

John Cunningham, CEO & president of Bad Elf

The Technical Assessment process CCAT conducted has allowed our organization to clearly identify the key points that will allow us to run more lean and efficient by highlighting improvement areas in our process.

Michael C. Malota, CFO, Windmade Products, LLC

I just wanted to send a quick note letting you know how much Chloe is enjoying the manufacturing camp! She has been talking non stop about the leaders, coding, the field trip, etc. Thank you for creating such a unique and fun educational experience for these kids!

Valerie Scheer,

CCAT is a remarkable organization. They consistently demonstrate an exceptional commitment to the success of my school district. They are much more than a technology service provider. They are a partner dedicated to working with us to achieve our goals.

Jason Casey, Director of Systems Technology, Simsbury Public Schools

Produced two excellent parts for us, using the ProJet 5500X which is a unique capability only accessible thanks to CCAT. The fact that CCAT can work with student SolidWorks files which are not always the highest quality is greatly appreciated.

Allan Penda, Adjunct Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Hartford

CCAT made it possible to translate a complex part design with detailed features into a complete and toleranced part design drawing. CCAT then developed the multi-pass and multi-sided manufacturing process, and machined the part within tolerance. I found the people at CCAT to be knowledgeable, professional, and easy to work with. The CCAT AMC team took a preliminary idea from a starting CAD file to a fully documented project and delivered a fabricated part that works. A really great job."

Michael Goldstein, Ph.D., Rx Analytic, Inc.

I want to thank you on behalf of Barnes Aerospace for the laser cladding studies performed at CCAT. The studies provided Barnes Aerospace with enough evidence to invest in Laser Cladding equipment. Additionally, we very much appreciate your guidance, suggestions and comments during our equipment assessment meeting you participated in at one of our Connecticut divisions. I am quite certain we would have gone down a less rewarding path without your guidance.

Allan Dygon, Director of Engineering, Barnes Aerospace

Creating really great, hands-on activities takes time, so much more time than many teachers ever get. Kids like hands-on activities, and CCAT's activities are well thought out.

Laura Barbash, Science Teacher, Illing Middle School, Manchester

Thanks to CCAT's great work, our new website is live, looks great and we now have almost total control of the content so that it can be kept fresh.

Linda Tomasi, RSL Fiber Systems

The Technical Assessment CCAT conducted was an eye-opener and stimulated some really good discussion with my staff.

Tyler Burke, President, Turbine Technologies

As a small nonprofit organization in Hartford, we are thrilled to have IT support from CCAT - a company that truly understands our needs and that has supported us through every stage of our office relocation.

Robert Warren, Executive Director, Hartford Performs

Hydrogen and fuel cell technology not only provides the necessary steps toward securing America's energy future, but it also creates quality jobs in a new and expanding technological field.

John Larson, Congressman, (D-Conn.)

Under the direction of CCAT, in a few short years Connecticut. Dream It. Do It. has taken on a leadership role, partnering with us to win a national grant from the Motorola Solutions Foundation and serving as a model for Dream It. Do It. programs across the country.

Jennifer McNelly, Executive Director, The Manufacturing Institute

CCAT has been training our middle school teachers to support NGSS-type teaching for the past several years. For anyone considering a set of materials that will provide teachers with activities to support students constructing their own knowledge so as to better understand natural phenomena, CCAT provides wonderful as well as useful hands-on and computer-based resources. I highly recommend that you consider adding their expertise to your school district’s resource pool.

Richard Pelczar, 6-12 Science Department Head, Middletown Public Schools

CCAT has helped to address critical workforce development issues through the Advanced Manufacturing Employer Partnership (AMEP) . They have designed programs to assist manufacturers in the hiring of lower skilled job seekers and have implemented a wage subsidy program to mitigate employer costs associated with on-the-job training. This type of program is critical to building the manufacturing talent pipeline for our industry’s future.

Mark DiLorenzo, President, Phoenix Manufacturing

CCAT's experts provide the ongoing support that gives us confidence in our ability to meet the demanding educational needs of today's students.

Gene Blain, Principal, Windham High School

As a small nonprofit organization in Hartford, we are thrilled to have IT support from CCAT - a company that truly understands our needs and that has supported us through every stage of our office relocation. Not only do they have a reliable team, but they are creative and inspired by the possibilities of collaboration. Because of their commitment to innovation, we now have a state-of-the-art system that has the capacity to grow with our organization and that fits within our budget.

Robert Warren, Executive Director, Hartford Performs

That's one of the great things about the program... there is a seamless integration; the teachers can put these pieces in the curriculum as they see fit. To excite veteran teachers tells me right away that this program is something of worth. They (CCAT) are good judges of what is good curriculum for our kids.

Melissa Gavarrino, 7-12 Science Department Coordinator, East Hartford Public Schools

The turnaround was great. I couldn't be happier with my parts and the service they provided! Special thanks to the CCAT team for working so hard to ensure my project moved along as quickly as possible.

Erik Herold, Lead Mechanical Engineer, Dynamo Micropower

I greatly appreciate the quality support given to University of Hartford student projects and look forward to working in the Fall 2016 and Spring 2017 projects. Already have a project that will need CCAT's expertise in 3D printing using the ProJet 5500X.

Allan Penda, Adjunct Professor, Department of Mechanical Engineering

I gave CCAT a very complex part to optimize. I knew there was opportunity for cycle time reduction, but I didn't expect a 70% improvement. This is huge.

Mark DiLorenzo, Phoenix Manufacturing

CCAT has provided significant leadership in supporting the Advanced Manufacturing Employer Partnership (AMEP), a network of employers, education and service providers and the public workforce investment system. As a result, CCAT is able to connect job seekers with the education, training and support needed to get, and advance, in jobs and keep our employers connected.
