Autac Inc. will be hosting an Open House\/Re-launch Party on June 16, 2016 from 1pm-4pm at their Branford location. The event is to celebrate 70 years in business and the launch of their new website and catalogue.
\n\u201cTechnically Autac was founded in 1945 and incorporated in 1947. All the literature over the years has paid homage to the incorporation date or I guess the day when Dad moved the company out of his garage to an actual place of business in 1947\u201d laughs the CEO, Marie-Louise Burkle. \u201cSince we are launching our new website and catalogues this year I just figured why not split the baby and make 2016 the 70th Anniversary? Plus we have so much to celebrate. The company has been doing really well the last year. And to finally be healthy enough to return to running Autac is something I\u2019m personally celebrating! It was a rough run from 2010-2015. My illness, the collapse of our company headquarters in the Blizzard of 2011 and of course the economic issues specific to manufacturing in Connecticut; it\u2019s a miracle we survived. 2015 was a real turning point for me and for Autac. It\u2019s time to recognize this fresh start and revel in a new life for Autac and myself.\u201d
\nThe event will begin at 1pm. The plant will be running live for tours from 1-2:30 but the facility will have an open house from 1-4. Also from 1pm-4pm Autac will have food trucks, music, libations, games and extensive networking opportunities. They will be assisting customers and vendors from afar to \u201cmake a weekend out of it\u201d and take advantage of Autac\u2019s proximity to NYC, Boston, Newport and the Casinos along with other festivities in the area such as the Branford Festival.
\n\u201cWe are looking to promote our town, our state, our vendors as well as ourselves. I am often asked why we still do business in CT. I say come to this event and let me show you.\u201d declares Marie-Louise, \u201cBranford is a great town to do business with; Connecticut has so much to offer. It\u2019s been our home for 70 years and we want to show it off.\u201d
