We are excited and deeply honored to share some wonderful news from our home base! CAI, a long-standing manufacturer and exporter in the City of Corona, was recently recognized by the city during its annual Manufacturing Month celebration.

This special distinction comes right on the heels of our recent win as the U.S. Small Business Administration’s 2025 Exporter of the Year, underscoring our commitment to both local excellence and global reach.

Recognized as a Valued Local Manufacturer

At the City Council Meeting on October 1st, Corona Mayor Jim Steiner read a proclamation officially declaring October as Manufacturing Month. The proclamation specifically commended CAI for its significant contributions to Corona’s workforce and manufacturing industry.

Preeti Chandan, a member of CAI’s sales and marketing team, had the honor of accepting the proclamation from Mayor Steiner on behalf of our entire organization.

Out of more than 400 manufacturing firms operating in Corona, CAI was selected for this recognition – an acknowledgment of the dedication and hard work of our entire team and our trusted partners.

A Manufacturing Hub:

This recognition highlights Corona’s vital role in the larger California economy.

Corona’s local manufacturing sector alone employs 14,000 people!
