Ireland-Based Tate Flooring Expands Red Lion, Pennsylvania, Manufacturing Operations

10/07/2025
Tate Flooring, a floor manufacturing company owned by Ireland-based Kingspan Group, plans to expand its operations in York County, Pennsylvania. The $2.5 million project is expected to create at least 75 jobs over the next three years.

The investment will include leasehold improvements, manufacturing equipment, and other upgrades at the company’s existing Redco Avenue facility.

“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.

To support the project Tate received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania 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,” noted DCED Secretary Rick 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.”

Tate focuses on sustainable raised access flooring solutions, specializing in building technology platforms that provide flexible underfloor distribution for cables and air. The company serves various sectors, including commercial offices and data centers, providing solutions for efficient energy use, improved air quality, and adaptable spaces.
