U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal Visits Consolidated Industries

August 12, 2019

U.S. Senator Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) today toured Consolidated Industries, Inc. in Cheshire, Connecticut, a designer and manufacturer of critical aerospace forgings for landing gears, jet engines, helicopter rotors, airframes, and wheels. Following his tour, the Senator formally addressed and then individually greeted Consolidated Industries’ employees.

Senator Blumenthal acknowledged the key role of Consolidated Industries and other Connecticut companies in supporting the nation’s defense efforts. “By supplying the critical components for our country’s defense, the employees of companies like Consolidated Industries are no less important as our valued men and women in uniform,” Senator Blumenthal stated. Answering a question concerning the defense budget, he pointed out that the defense budget remained robust, and defense priorities within the budget attracted strong bi-partisan support.

He noted “As a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, I can see that there is continued support by my Democratic and Republican colleagues for helicopter, jet fighter, and submarine programs.”
