Pennsylvania has secured a $2.1 million investment from Gerard Daniel Worldwide to expand its manufacturing operations in York County. The Commonwealth is investing $200,000 in the project, which will create 35 new jobs over the next five years and retain 107 existing, full-time positions.
“Gerard Daniel Worldwide is excited to continue its long-standing partnership with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” said Jack Slinger, CEO, Gerard Daniel Worldwide. “As a company headquartered in Pennsylvania, we remain committed to investing in and expanding our manufacturing operations throughout the state.”
The company will expand its existing manufacturing capacity by making required building infrastructure upgrades, including installing a new electrical transformer, and adding new equipment to its manufacturing facility located at 150 Factory Street in Hanover.
“Gerard Daniel Worldwide has been part of Pennsylvania’s manufacturing legacy for more than 50 years, and we’re proud to support its continued growth in York County,” said DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “Investments like this strengthen our manufacturing base, create new opportunities for Pennsylvanians, and reinforce the fact that Pennsylvania is competing — and winning — for jobs and investment in our communities.”
Coordinated by the Governor’s BusinessPA team, Gerard Daniel received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $200,000 Pennsylvania First grant.
