Additionally, the program provides social media forums for manufacturers to connect with one another and discuss industry issues.

As the featured manufacturer of the week, Pegasus Manufacturing will be prominently displayed on the CONNSTEP website as well as on the “Made in CT” Facebook page, LinkedIn group and Twitter feed (@CTMade).
