Farm Plast Plans Muncy, Pennsylvania, Manufacturing Operations

12/09/2025
Farm Plast, a manufacturer of sustainable injection molded milk crates and other containers, plans to establish operations in Muncy, Pennsylvania. The $8 million project is expected to create 69 jobs in Lycoming County over the next three years.

The company’s new 200,000-square-foot manufacturing facility will be located at 100 Sherman Street.

“Farm Plast is moving full steam ahead with its new manufacturing facility in Muncy, producing high-quality, American-made products and creating jobs in the great state of Pennsylvania,” said Eric Lomak, General Manager, Farm Plast. “We plan to breathe new life into the empty warehouse that has long been forgotten and we are incredibly grateful for all the support we received from DCED and Governor Shapiro.”

To support the project Farm Plast received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for $3.5 million through the Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) loan program as well as a $500,000 Pennsylvania First grant.

“Manufacturing and agriculture have always had a strong history here — which is why they’re two of the key industries we’re focusing on in Pennsylvania’s Economic Development Strategy,” noted BusinessPA Senior Managing Director Brent Vernon. “The Commonwealth has a strong business climate for companies like Farm Plast that are ready to grow and succeed here. This investment further advances our economic competitiveness and highlights our ability to attract companies from across the nation, create good-paying jobs, and support our local communities.”

Founded in 2007, Farm Plast has quickly grown as a leader in using injection molding to make milk crates, bread trays, and moving dollies ? selling products to farms and grocers across the Commonwealth. Most of the company’s products provide for the protection and transportation of milk, breads, glass bottles, and eggs. According to Farm Plast, 75 percent of its products are made with reused materials, with the company recycling roughly 12 million pounds of plastic each year.

“Governor Shapiro is committed to making it easier to do business in Pennsylvania for our farm, forest, and food businesses,” added Agriculture Secretary Russell Redding. “Investments like this have real impact — they strengthen the supply chain that our farm and food businesses rely on every day, and they bring new opportunity to rural communities. Farm Plast’s expansion in Lycoming County means more good jobs, more reliable access to the products that keep food moving safely, and a stronger agricultural economy that benefits producers and consumers across the Commonwealth.”
