A crowd of media and business representatives as well as HTP employees gathered around as Mayor Mitchell welcomed HTP to the New Bedford Business Park with a thoughtful speech.

HTP currently employees 155 people and hopes to add 40 more over thext five years.
"There are between 3 and 4,000 people working here at the park and this is probably the epicenter of manufacturing jobs in the city of New Bedford," said Liz Isherwood, President of the New Bedford Industrial Foundation.
