Pulitzer Prize-winning author Theodore H. White referred to the Naugatuck Valley "as the seedbed of Yankee ingenuity" in his work "The Making of the President, 1960". The city hosted the world headquarters of the Farrel Corporation, a leading producer of plastics and rubber processing equipment including the Banbury International Mixer. Ansonia Copper &amp; Brass, which supplied metal rod, wire and tube products to manufacturers of finished commercial products, also was located in the city.
