The New England Chapter will hold an educational event that includes a Nov. 7 plant tour of Accel Internationalโs wire drawing plant in Meriden, Connecticut, followed by a networking dinner in the surrounding area.
More details will follow, but from the โsmall worldโ files, this is not the first time that the New England Chapter has held such an event. In 2022, at a different plant located in MeridenโRFS Technologies, now owned by Amphenolโthe plant tour followed by a networking dinner proved to be quite successful. That tour saw some 50 chapter members and guests see up close the operations of RFS, a global designer and manufacturer of total-package solutions for wireless and broadcast infrastructure. The tour started with a half-hour presentation on the markets that the company serves, followed by the tour, and then by dinner at a waterfront restaurant.
Accel International, Inc., manufactures silver and nickel plated, tin plated copper and copper alloys for the wire and cable market, serving markets such as aerospace, medical, telecommunications and industrial markets.
More details will follow about the event in future issues.
