Founded in 1960, the Alinabal Group of Milford is a diversified manufacturer with four distinct business divisions that manufacture products for the defense, aerospace, industrial, recreational, and medical industries. Alinabal\u2019s 325 employees work out of three facilities \u2013 two in Milford and one in Kensington \u2013 and across more than 200,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space.\r\nThe manufacturer\u2019s four business units - Practical Automation, Inc., DACO Instruments, Engineered Products Group, and Motion Transfer Devices \u2013 serve prominent Fortune 100 and Fortune 500 companies, as well as the U.S. government. They are recognized around the world for producing a variety of items, such as thermal printers used in ticketing kiosk applications, advanced optical shutters and high performance indicators used in aviation applications, precision stampings and mechanical assemblies, rod end bearings, linkage assemblies, and custom motion transfer solutions.\r\nAlinabal takes pride in their commitment to quality, which is implemented through their \u201cAlinabal Total Improvement Process\u201d(ATIP). The manufacturer established the ATIP to ensure that they constantly strive to improve the quality of work-life for their employees, employees\u2019 growth and skills, the processes by which products are developed, and the service that they provide their customers. The company\u2019s 55 years of dedication to progress and improvement among employees have undoubtedly led to their great success.  \u201cIf you\u2019ve ever withdrawn money from an ATM, purchased a movie ticket from an automated kiosk, printed an airplane ticket, driven an ATV or motorcycle, mowed the lawn, or used fitness equipment, then chances are, you\u2019ve used an Alinabal product\u201d, said Murphy. \u201cThe ubiquity of Alinabal devices is spectacular, but it\u2019s Alinabal\u2019s persistent pursuit of employee satisfaction that makes them so unique. I\u2019m proud that Connecticut is home to such a respectable company, and I\u2019m excited to recognize them as one of our state\u2019s distinct manufacturers.\u201d \u201cAlinabal businesses face strong domestic and global competition on a daily basis,\u201d said Michael Murphy, Vice President and General Manager of Alinabal. \u201cWe are extremely proud of our dedicated employees, who have eagerly embraced Continuous Improvement as the key to maintaining competitiveness, improving our products and services, and exceeding customer expectations.\u201d\r\nThe manufacturing industry plays a crucial role throughout Connecticut communities, creating new jobs and accelerating our state\u2019s economic recovery. Today, Connecticut\u2019s 4,602 manufacturers account for 10.2% of the state\u2019s jobs and 87% of the state\u2019s total exports. In order to protect and grow manufacturing jobs in Connecticut, Murphy has introduced two pieces of legislation that aim to strengthen existing standards and prioritize the purchase of American-made goods, the 21st Century Buy American Act and the American Jobs Matter Act.", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.murphy.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/murphy-highlights-local-connecticut-manufacturer-alinabal-holdings-inc-as-murphys-monday-manufacturer"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 0.8270549587905407, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
