Japan-Based Itoh Denki USA Expands Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, Headquarters-Production Operations

08/11/2025
Japan-based Itoh Denki USA, a manufacturer of motorized rollers and automated systems, has expanded its operations in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania. The approximately $10 million project is expected to create 30 jobs.

The investment includes an additional 73,600 square feet at the company's existing U.S. headquarters and manufacturing facility, located at the Hanover Crossings Industrial Park.

“This expansion was necessary to allow us the capacity that we need to meet the increasing demand for industrial automation,” said Rich Kosik, President of Itoh Denki USA. “Today’s fulfillment and distribution centers require low noise workspaces, and the Itoh Power Moller internally powered roller is becoming the top choice for material handling conveyors. The tremendous energy savings recognized on these applications is an additional bonus.”

Itoh Denki Co., LTD. specializes in the design, manufacture, and sale of motorized conveyor rollers and related components for material handling systems. The company’s products are used in various applications, including logistics, distribution, and e-commerce, with a focus on energy efficiency and run-on-demand technology.

“The Shapiro Administration is thrilled to see Itoh Denki USA expand its presence in Northeastern Pennsylvania, further proving that our Commonwealth is a great place to grow a successful business,” noted Pennsylvania Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger. “Governor Josh Shapiro formed the BusinessPA team so that new and existing businesses like Itoh Denki USA can access a one-stop-shop that provides the assistance they need to thrive. Our 10-year Economic Development Strategy lays out what we must do to be competitive and open the doors of opportunity to all Pennsylvanians, and that’s exactly what the Shapiro Administration is doing.”
