Platt Brothers & Co

History

Over A Century Of Experience. . . Prepared For The Future

The history of the enterprising Platt family goes back over 200 years, when a grist and saw mill was established on the Naugatuck River, in Waterbury, Connecticut. By 1825, the Platts were producing wire and button eyes, which led to the manufacture of ferrous and non-ferrous buttons. The company came together in 1847 as A. Platt and Company, involved in the manufacture of rolled zinc products and metal buttons. The Platts began producing stampings and drawn eyelet components about 1875. Early eyelet customers were well aware of the Platt's skill in devising solutions from technically difficult shapes and specifications - a talent that continues today. At the turn of the century, the company was operating with a full complement of eyelet machinery supplying not only eyelets, but also ferrules and shells to a broad spectrum of customers across America.
Platt Bros. & Company - TodayAfter a raging flood on the Naugatuck river virtually destroyed the plant in 1955, the company, now The Platt Brothers and Company, erected a modern manufacturing facility at the current location. Dedicated to meeting the demands of the markets for deep drawn metal components, our company has continuously purchased new machinery and equipment, increased production capacity, and implemented on-going research and development, training and quality assurance programs.

The years of experience have seen us enter such diversified markets as lighting accessories, communications, aerospace, sensing devices, control valves, primary and after-market automotive components, and electronics. The Platt family tradition of always being ready to meet the changing and challenging needs of our customers continues into the new century.
