About Us

Progress, Inc. is Located in Newington, in the heart of Connecticut, convenient to major highways and Bradley International Airport.  Our business concentrates on mechanical design, manufacturing and fabrication that support those efforts.

Founded in 1992, the company has grown and modernized to serve an expanding client base.  The company name was changed to Progress, Inc. in January, 2006 (previously Jacobs Associates, LLC). Over the years we have developed a niche for quick turn-around projects.
