An investment in robotics has tripled the production levels at a Stratford plastic furniture manufacturer. C-R Plastics invested more than 5-million dollars into a robotic technology and are now producing more than 180-thousand plastic Adirondack chairs each year. The investment is the latest in a long list of innovative business technologies being embraced in the city. Mayor Dan Mathieson calls Stratford an intelligent, forward-thinking community that drives innovation.
