TIGHITCO, an advanced manufacturing company, is investing $5 million in Connecticut to establish production lines for a new 10-year, $500 million Navy contract. The company selected Connecticut for this work, which supports the Long Endurance Electronic Decoy (LEED) program led by Lockheed Martin, over other locations including South Carolina. The investment is supported by a $500,000 grant from Connecticut’s Strategic Supply Chain Initiative program.
