The investment will include an additional 24,200 square feet and new equipment at the company’s existing manufacturing facility.
“On behalf of our nearly 300 employees, we’re thrilled to receive this investment,” said Jerry Sargent, CEO, C&J Industries. “This commitment from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania will allow our employee-owned company and their families, and the community we have called home for 62 years, to continue to grow and thrive.”
To support the project the company received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $3 million Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority loan and a $60,000 workforce development grant to train workers.
“Manufacturing is one of the five key industries in our new Economic Development Strategy, and we’re going to continue to strengthen that sector by making strategic investments in companies like C&J Industries,” noted DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “C&J has been a mainstay in Crawford County for over 60 years, and we’re thrilled to support their expansion. We look forward to the next 60 years as they continue to grow and thrive right here in the Commonwealth.”
C&J Industries is a full service plastic injection molding contract manufacturer. Industries served include Medical, Consumer Products, Telecommunications, Industrial, and Transportation.
“C&J Industries is a legacy company in Crawford County and we were thrilled to see the Commonwealth support their expansion which will allow for job creation and substantial growth at the Meadville facility,” added Jim Becker, Executive Director, Economic Progress Alliance of Crawford County. “The company is now able to expand their physical plant, hire over 60 new employees, and invest major dollars into machinery and equipment in order to meet customer demand. This project will have lasting impacts on Crawford County and the region.”
