For Chris Jewell, manufacturing isn’t the “dark and dingy” business it was in the past, but a clean and computerized business of the future.
“It’s really state-of-the-art,” said Jewell, the president of the Eastern Advanced Manufacturing Alliance and the CFO and principal of the Collins & Jewell Company in Bozrah.
Like many industries during the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic downturn has hit advanced manufacturing. But unlike other industries, the field has remained resilient.
According to data from the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston’s New England Economic Indicators report for the fourth quarter of 2020, manufacturing losses from Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts and New Hampshire totaled 4.8% negative growth from Nov. 2019 to Nov. 2020 - the same as the national level.
