One of the Lehigh Valley’s top manufacturers has announced it is doubling down on its commitment in the region, investing tens of millions of dollars to increase its manufacturing operations, and creating up to 50 new jobs by next year in the Pennsylvania region.
Victaulic, a Forks Township-based manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining solutions and grooved pipe joining systems, made the announcement during the Lehigh Valley Economic Development Corporation’s (LVEDC) 2017 Fall Signature Event on Nov. 20.
The company is expanding its Lehigh Valley manufacturing operations and adding a second shift to its Forks Township facility, adding 45 to 50 new jobs by the end of 2018. Victaulic is also purchasing 28 acres of land in the Hecktown Road Business Park, located just off the Route 33 interchange in Lower Nazareth Township, to build a brand 400,000 square-foot facility.
