Metal fabrication company Baltimore Fabrication will invest $6.2 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Pennsylvania, state and company officials announced.
The project is expected to create at least 75 new jobs over the next three years.
Baltimore Fabrication, which opened its first manufacturing location in the state in York last year, will establish a second plant in the city after adding a vacant 35,000-square-foot building.
The company, an affiliate of SteelFab, was founded in its namesake city in 2014. It fabricates and erects steel frames for buildings, including beams, columns, trusses, decking, bracing and other structural members. It also handles miscellaneous metal fabrications, such as staircases, railings, ornamental and decorative work, as well as other custom metal components. Its turnkey service, officials said, handles the entire steel fabrication and erection process from pre-construction to project management, installation and safety.
“We’re incredibly excited to expand our operations into York," Baltimore Fabrication President Mark Rich said in a statement. "This region’s rich manufacturing heritage and skilled workforce make it the perfect fit for our continued growth."
The state is expected to provide a $250,000 state grant to support the project, along with another $200,000 worker training grant.
