EAM-Mosca has announced plans to expand manufacturing operations in Hazleton, Pennsylvania. The company, which provides automatic strapping systems for commercial packagers, will invest $20.6 million into the project, which will grow the current facility from 165,000 square feet to 283,000 square feet. The project will entail EAM-Mosca purchasing new machinery and equipment for its plant, as well as renovating the facility. The expansion will generate 50 new jobs for the surrounding area. To make this project possible, EAM-Mosca received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development for a $250,000 Pennsylvania First grant.
In a recent quote, Christian Wiethuechter, President & Chief Executive Officer at EAM-Mosca Corp., said, “We are grateful for the support from Governor Shapiro and the Governor’s Action Team, who recognize that EAM-Moscaprovides and creates high quality technology jobs in Pennsylvania. These jobs come from a true understanding of our clients’ needs and our engineering efforts on the mechanical and electrical side to produce a highly automated solution that meets an unmet need no one else has been able to satisfy, and that’s what’s made us successful in Pennsylvania and across the world.”
