Berwick Industries Expansion Brings New Jobs to Columbia County

In an effort to boost local employment, Berwick Industries Incorporated has announced a significant expansion into Columbia County. This move is set to create 125 new jobs, thanks to a $5 million investment. Governor Shapiro's administration is playing a crucial role in facilitating this development, aiming to stimulate economic growth in the area.

The new manufacturing operation by Berwick Industries will focus on expanding its production capabilities and is expected to significantly enhance the local economy. The state is supporting this initiative by contributing more than $3 million towards the company's growth. This investment is part of Governor Shapiro's broader strategy, which has already secured $40.4 billion in new commitments for Pennsylvania's economic development since he took office.

Berwick Industries, known for its consumer ribbon and bow manufacturing, is set to establish a new facility that will serve as a hub for its operations. The company’s expansion is anticipated to not only create employment opportunities but also encourage further investments in the region.

The new jobs will provide a substantial boost to the local workforce, offering employment opportunities across various skill levels. This initiative aligns with the state's objectives of fostering job creation and economic stability in Pennsylvania.

This expansion underscores the collaborative efforts between the public and private sectors to enhance the state's industrial capabilities and improve the standard of living for its residents. The development is poised to transform Columbia County into a manufacturing stronghold, drawing in additional business investments and elevating the region’s economic profile.
