Pennsylvania has secured a $6.5 million investment from pipe fitting manufacturer Ezeflow USA-Flowline to expand operations in Lawrence County. The Commonwealth is investing $210,000 in the project, which will create 30 new jobs over the next four years and retain 81 existing, full-time positions.
“Lawrence County and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania have been a great partner for Ezeflow USA-Flowline,” said Jeff Burns, President, Ezeflow USA Flowline. “Flowline has been a foundational manufacturing business for over 85 years, and we are very fortunate to have a community partner that can help us rapidly expand. We are excited to grow our manufacturing product line to support the needs of the US Navy and beyond.”
Ezeflow USA-Flowline will add 20,000 square feet to its existing facility at 1400 New Butler Road in New Castle. The new addition is a facility to support critical Navy and commercial nuclear components to help support the company’s contract with the United States Navy.
Ezeflow USA-Flowline received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $210,000 Pennsylvania First grant.
“Ezeflow USA-Flowline’s expansion is the kind of investment Pennsylvania is working to attract and support,” said DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “This project will create new jobs, strengthen a key manufacturing operation, and reinforce Lawrence County’s role in Pennsylvania’s industrial economy.”
Ezeflow USA-Flowline is a global manufacturer of stainless, nickel, and aluminum butt weld fittings which service the Oil & Gas, Chemical, Defense, and Aerospace markets. They are also a critical Level 1 supplier for U.S Navy Submarine and Aircraft construction.
