Pennsylvania has secured a $2.5 million investment from raised access floor manufacturing company Tate to expand operations at one of its facilities in York County. This project will create at least 75 new, full-time jobs within three years and retain 200 existing jobs.
Tate has two locations in Red Lion at 52 Springvale Road and 100 Redco Avenue. With growing demand for data center construction, the company is upgrading its Redco Avenue facility to meet projected production goals. Tate will invest in leasehold improvements, manufacturing equipment, and other upgrades as part of this expansion project.
“We would like to acknowledge the Shapiro Administration team for their support and shared vision, which have been instrumental in advancing our business and fostering a culture of continuous improvement as a core part of our growth strategy, said Peter Martin, Global President, Tate Flooring
Tate received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) that includes a $250,000 Pennsylvania First grant and a $150,000 WEDnetPA grant to train workers.
“Investments like this are one of the reasons why we formed BusinessPA ― to give companies and international partners a valuable resource to better help them grow and thrive in the Commonwealth,” said DCED Secretary Siger. “Tate’s expansion strengthens our manufacturing sector while also ensuring a key supply chain partner for data centers being built in Pennsylvania. Strategic investments like this are also bringing crucial new jobs to our Commonwealth and giving back to our communities.”
Founded in 1963, Tate is owned by Kingspan Group PLC in Ireland. The company is a worldwide leader in the engineering design, research development and manufacturing of raised access floors, airflow management, and infrastructure solutions for commercial projects and data centers.
