Pennsylvania has secured a $16.3 million investment from aluminum can and bottle manufacturer CCL Container to expand operations at its Mercer County facility. The Commonwealth is investing $160,000 in the project, which will create 30 new jobs over the next three years and retain 302 existing positions.
CCL Container will install a new manufacturing production line at its One Llodio Drive facility in Hermitage City. The new line will nearly double production capacity, enabling the company to meet current customer orders and anticipated market growth.
CCL Container received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $150,000 Pennsylvania First grant and a $10,000 WEDnetPA grant to train workers.
“We’re proud to support a long-standing Pennsylvania business like CCL Container, a strong manufacturing company that has had a presence in Mercer County for more than four decades,” said DCED Secretary Rick Siger.
CCL Container is the leading North American manufacturer of impact-extruded aluminum packaging, serving a wide range of consumer products and market sectors. The company operates state-of-the-art manufacturing lines that produce finished containers across a full range of sizes, shapes, and styles, with comprehensive inline decorating options.
