Industry in Westbrook

Due to its proximity to the Ports of Cape Elizabeth and Portland, and the Presumpscot River, Westbrook has a long industrial herritage.  With the river powering the mills, Westbrook's sawmill industry gave way to the manufacturing of grain bags, machinery and water wheels, carriage and harness, boots, shoes and moccasins, tinware, leather board, bricks, wooden boxes, box shook, meal and flour.

A paper mill in Westbrook founded the city's long history of paper manufacturing. Westbrook also sat on the Oxford and Cumberland Canal, and the Portland and Ogdensburg Railroad, solidifying its importance as a center for commerce. The Warren Paper Mill was at one point was the industrial lynchpin of the town. While that is not still the case, the Mill represents Westbrooks industrial heritage, and lies directly between Portland and Westbrook, a reminder of days past.

Westbrook is home to two large industrial parks, as well as the central locations of several of Maine's largest companies, including the E.S. Boulos property development and management company.
