The Nashua Manufacturing Company was a cotton textile manufacturer in Nashua, New Hampshire that operated from 1823 to 1945.
It was one of several textile companies that helped create Nashua, one of several cities that blossomed along the Merrimack River to take advantage of water power in the early days of the Industrial Revolution. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, it bought several other textile manufacturers, including Jackson Company, Indian Head Mills, and Tremont and Suffolk Mills.
It was acquired by Textron Inc., in 1945. The company shut the Nashua Mills in 1948.
Six of the mill buildings along the Nashua River were converted into luxury apartments in the mid- to late-1990s and are now known as Clocktower Place Apartments.
