Serving Windsor Locks, CT
Windsor Locks sits in Hartford County on the Connecticut River, midway between Hartford and Springfield, along Interstate 91 and Routes 20, 75, 140, and 159. Bradley International Airport covers a third of the town, sharing its airfield with Bradley Air National Guard Base and the 103rd Airlift Wing. The Collins Aerospace campus on Hamilton Road, formerly Hamilton Standard, has built propellers, flight controls, and environmental systems since 1952, anchoring an aerospace supply base reaching Windsor, Suffield, East Granby, and Enfield.
Tra-Cal serves them with ANAB-accredited ISO/IEC 17025:2017 calibration through prepaid ship-in service or onsite calibration appointments, documented with NIST-traceable certificates.
