Reply to comment by nikedude in Made in Connecticut: ASML in Wilton is one of the largest semiconductor companies in the world by jaydecay123
Many of their warehouses are actually located in NYS. Back in my commercial air cargo days, we handled ASML export shipments daily. A lot of what we would receive would be out of Newburgh and Poughkeepsie. Many of the crates were large enough that they would barely fit into a standard trailer, never mind being back-weighted to one corner so that even the biggest forklift we could fit onto the truck did not have forks long enough to get it cleaning off the floor. Between that along with the electronic shockwatches and Tip'n'Tells, they were interesting to move around at times.

Interesting and kind of goes along with what I was saying. They wouldn't be able to pay warehouse wages around Wilton and keep it regularly staffed due to the high CoL, whereas Newburgh is more economically distressed and able to better support those wages
