About Seller: The achievements of the Garthwait family significantly contribute to the longstanding admiration for the strong work ethic of the Connecticut Yankee in America. By combining entrepreneurship with traditional machining skills linked to New England, Line Manufacturing, Inc. has established itself as a reliable supplier of specialized precision metal stampings. In 1932, Ralph and Clyde Garthwait founded Line Manufacturing in a two-car garage with $400 each to invest, showcasing their competence. Initially producing broom caps, the Garthwait family worked tirelessly with 15- and 16-hour days, including weekends. By 1939, the firm had annual shipments of $275,000 and one full-time employee, prompting the construction of a 1,000-square-foot space nearby. Following Ralph's passing and Clyde's departure from the business, Helen Garthwait, Ralph's widow, took over and maintained operations during World War II when Ralph's heirs, John and Joseph, were called to serve in the armed forces. The history of the Garthwait enterprise exemplifies perseverance, hard work, and a commitment to customer service, leading to consistent growth and challenging negative perceptions of the capabilities of the United States industry. Today, Line Manufacturing, led by third-generation Bruce Garthwait, Joseph Garthwait, Jr., and Gregory Garthwait, operates out of a 20,000-square-foot facility in Wolcott, Connecticut, owned by the company.
