PITH Products

For more than three decades, PITH Products has been redefining the standard for customized tool management and storage solutions. Specializing in precision-engineered products crafted from foam, plastic, wood, metal and composite materials, PITH delivers tailor-made packaging and storage systems to industries worldwide. From point-of-use stations and assembly kit carts to crating and protective coatings, PITH stands firmly behind its promise: “Built to Fit.”

Founded in 1991 by Joe Howard to serve aerospace giant Pratt & Whitney, PITH has grown through strategic leadership and a focus on finding innovative ways to meet customer challenges. After Howard retired in 2001, Lance Bouchard and Lou Albert took over, expanding the company’s reach and capabilities. Today, backed by a new investor group since 2022, and with Bouchard still actively involved, PITH is pursuing sustainable growth and technological advancement while maintaining its reputation as a trusted industry partner.

PITH boasts impressive technical capabilities, including on-site waterjet, CNC router and coating systems. But it also adheres to a philosophy of providing customers with excellent value, fostering trust, earning their loyalty and winning repeat business.

“Our dedication to consistent customer outreach has not only driven growth but also reinforced our reputation as a dependable and dynamic partner in the industry,” said Tim Blaisdell, the company’s CEO.

PITH remains true to its approach even as markets evolve. The aerospace and medical industries, two of PITH’s core markets, are undergoing rapid change, for example, spurring demand for ever-greater customization and flexibility. PITH has adjusted by integrating a broader range of solutions, offering multifunctional, cutting-edge products and collaborating closely with its clients. This strategic agility enables clients to stay ahead in their respective fields, backed by a company that understands their unique needs.

Recent advancements at PITH further underscore its dedication to excellence. The implementation of a new digital ERP system has streamlined operations, improved communication and enhanced customer transparency. Meanwhile, the introduction of sustainable products like Ecorrcrate and aero coating showcases PITH’s commitment to environmentally responsible innovation – delivering solutions that are lightweight, cost-effective and high-performing.

Beyond products and processes, PITH takes pride in its people. More than a third of its staff members have been with the company for more than a decade, evidence of a supportive culture rooted in loyalty, growth and mutual respect. The healthy internal dynamics translate into longstanding client relationships and consistent, high-quality results. And, through its partnership with the CT Tech Work-Based Learning program, for example, professionals from PITH regulatory mentor technically minded high school students, fostering the next generation of talent.

Looking ahead, PITH has its sights set on expansion. With 95% of its business currently within a 60-mile radius, the company sees a significant opportunity to reach new markets. It is also working toward ISO certification and CMMC Level 2 compliance to solidify its position as a trusted supplier in highly regulated industries.

PITH’s legacy is built on value, innovation and connection – principles reflected not only in its products but also in its service to the broader community. It’s a legacy that company leaders are committed to continuing.
