Pennsylvania has secured a $1.6 million investment from Philips, a global leader in health technology, to expand its ultrasound manufacturing operations in Mifflin County. The Commonwealth is investing $330,000 in the project, which will create 101 new jobs over the next three years and retain 518 existing, full-time positions.
DCED Secretary Siger celebrated the announcement with Philips leadership while visiting the Philips Innovation Center in Eindhoven in the Netherlands. Secretary Siger and senior business development leaders are currently on an economic development trip to the Netherlands, Austria, and Germany to finalize major economic development deals and promote Pennsylvania as the best place for international business investments.
“Reedsville is an important part of Philips’ U.S. operations, and this latest investment reflects our long-standing commitment to manufacturing and innovation in the United States,” said Jeff DiLullo, Chief Region Leader, Philips North America. “This expansion builds on the Reedsville investment we announced last year and is part of our more than $150 million U.S. investment plan, reflecting our confidence in Pennsylvania’s skilled workforce and strong manufacturing base. We are grateful for the Commonwealth’s partnership as we continue to create jobs, advance health technology manufacturing and deliver better care for more people.”
Coordinated by the Governor’s BusinessPA team, Philips received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $330,000 Pennsylvania First grant.
Philips will add another production line to its facility at 1 Echo Drive in Reedsville to increase its ultrasound transducer manufacturing capacity. This project represents the company’s fifth expansion at the Reedsville site in the past ten years. Philips purchased the site in 1998, and has expanded in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2025 and now 2026, as the company continues to grow in Mifflin County.
“Pennsylvania’s economy is increasingly connected to the global economy, and we’re making sure the Commonwealth is aggressively competing for investments like this one from Philips,” said Secretary Siger. “Being here in the Netherlands and meeting directly with companies like Philips gives us an opportunity to showcase what Pennsylvania has to offer — a talented workforce, a strong manufacturing base, and an economy positioned for long-term growth. Philips’ decision to expand in Mifflin County is a great example of how international partnerships can translate into real investment and new jobs right here in Pennsylvania.”
Philips is a global health technology company with more than 16,000 employees across the United States, including several large facilities in Pennsylvania. Philips is focused on improving people’s health and well-being through meaningful innovation.
