Find Out More About the Lewiston, Auburn, Lisbon and Southern Maine Area Economy & Job Market
World Class Business
So many products and services used by people in New England and throughout the country can be traced to a Lewiston-Auburn company. Start your day by putting on a fresh t-shirt, and that silk label on the collar was likely made in Lewiston. Call L.L. Bean to order a pair of their hallmark boots, and chances are you're talking to a customer service representative in a Lewiston call center. If you drive a Toyota or GM car, pop the trunk and look at the thin lining. That's made from recycled bottles using a fascinating technology at Formed Fiber Technologies in Auburn. Order a hamburger at Burger King in Boston or Portland, and that bun may have been baked at LePage Bakeries in Lewiston. Turn on your new high-definition TV, and that signal is transmitted via a TV tower antenna that may have been made with the help of a local Auburn company. Did you turn on the nightlight in your child's room before going to bed? Yes, that light shines courtesy of our local Philips lightbulb plant.
