Victaulic, the manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining, fire protection and flow control solutions, purchases a 220,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Lawrenceville, Pennsylvania, and celebrates with a grand reopening.
Victaulic’s Lawrenceville facility has added nearly 60 new jobs to Tioga County and anticipates adding approximately 40 more in the near future. It is expected many of the new positions will be filled by local talent from the area’s skilled workforce.
Sustainable manufacturing practices
New hires will join the current Victaulic team of more than 1,600 Pennsylvania employees and approximately 4,500 people globally. “Victaulic is excited to expand its Pennsylvania footprint and bring back to life the Lawrenceville foundry to support the growth of our customers,” remarked Rick Bucher, President and CEO of Victaulic.
Victaulic aims to be a good neighbor in every community where our employees work and live"
“We appreciate the cooperation between state and local agencies as part of the site selection process, and we are very happy to be part of the Tioga community. Victaulic aims to be a good neighbor in every community where our employees work and live. We are especially proud to further our sustainable manufacturing practices and reuse this facility for the betterment of this community.”
Providing necessary capacity
The Lawrenceville foundry will provide the scale and capacity necessary to continue Victaulic’s growth plans as the business demands increase.
Most importantly, it will allow Victaulic to service their valued North American customers as a major aspect of the business strategy has always been to manufacture products in close proximity to their customers. The facility, including two foundry molding lines, will also enable Victaulic to produce larger scale products.
