NEW BRITAIN — Integro, at 30 Peter Court, was the focus last week of U.S. Sen. Chris Murphy’s weekly manufacturing spotlight, “Murphy’s Monday Manufacturer.”

The power distribution and lighting manufacturer’s products are found on airfields and in mining, construction, shipbuilding, power utilities and steel fabrication.

It was founded in Meriden in 1995. In 2010, the manufacturer moved to a 26,000-square-foot campus in New Britain, where its employees manufacture Federal Aviation Administration-approved isolation transformers, waterproof lighting systems, welding equipment and other products.

Integro’s products are used by the Navy and multi-billion-dollar corporations including General Dynamics, Eaton, Hubbell, Prysmian and Caterpillar at more than 56 major airports around the world, including Chicago O’Hare International Airport, Atlanta’s Hartsfield International Airport and Heathrow Airport in London.

Murphy said Integro President John Bogart is proud to have three patented innovations, as well as four pending patents. One of Integro’s latest innovations is a low-voltage LED lighting system called Right Idea, which optimizes LED lighting efficiency. The Right Idea lighting system is designed to deliver up to 95 percent energy savings over conventional incandescent bulbs and between 65 percent and 80 percent energy savings over conventional off-the-shelf LED bulbs at the safest operating voltage to prevent a shock hazard.

Over the last eight years, since Buy American provisions rhave equired all manufactured goods used in FAA Airport Improvement Program-funded projects to be produced in the United States, Integro has grown substantially, according to Murphy. The company is expecting to see significant continued growth in sales and employment in the next few years.

“Ever since FAA Buy American laws took effect, Integro has thrived, becoming concrete proof that Buy American supports American companies and jobs,” said Murphy. “That’s why it’s frustrating that the government continues to violate Buy American laws and exploit loopholes that unnecessarily send taxpayer dollars overseas for goods they could purchase from homegrown manufacturers like Integro. Buy American laws exist for a reason, and I won’t stop fighting until the U.S. government gets serious about supporting Connecticut companies and Connecticut workers.”

Bogart said he continues to be impressed by the strategies business leaders employ to drive success. “Finding the right one that fits your team’s core competencies is the challenge. But once you find the right plan that will drive success, it’s all about effort and determination,” he said. “For Integro, the path to that success has been twofold — innovate to get into new markets where higher quality solutions are demanded, and offer the best value and service in every market we enter. We think the strategies are a perfect fit for our team and now it’s time to employ the effort to achieve the victories we are expecting.”

Murphy said the manufacturing industry plays a crucial role throughout Connecticut communities, creating new jobs and accelerating our state’s economic recovery.

Connecticut’s 4,602 manufacturers account for 10.2 percent of the state’s jobs and 87 percent of the state’s total exports.
