Founded in 1812, the Waterbury Button Company produces handcrafted brass buttons and related products at its Cheshire, Connecticut facility. When core military supplies including buttons were cut off from Great Britain during the War of 1812, our founder Aaron Benedict melted down pots and pans to supply buttons to the US Military. We take that same ingenuity and grit to produce the same product over 200 years later, making us one the oldest companies in the US making its original product.

We have in-house stamping, plating, and assembly capabilities, allowing us to work with you to create a custom design and product to meet your exact needs including Berry Amendment Compliance. While the products and customers have expanded over time, we continue to use traditional methods with a modern efficiency to create our products in largely the same way we always have. Please take a look at our sample products on our website and reach out to discuss your specific needs.
