The investment will include the construction of a new facility on 26 acres which will be located across from the company’s existing location.
“We deeply appreciate the financial support from the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” said Steve Hranec, Owner and Founder, Hranec. “Governor Shapiro’s economic initiatives and his support for Pennsylvania manufacturing companies make expansions like ours possible. These funds will allow us to expand our HVAC manufacturing line and provide good-paying, local jobs for our families in Fayette County and across Pennsylvania. Special thanks to the Fayette County Commissioners, German Township Supervisors, Fayette County CTI School, and the Albert Gallatin School Board for their support.”
To support the project Hranec received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $2.5 million Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority loan, a $250,000 Pennsylvania First grant, and a $250,000 WEDnet grant to help train employees.
“We’re thrilled to support the growth of a great manufacturing company like Hranec — a mainstay in Fayette County for nearly 30 years,” noted DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “The Governor’s 10-year Economic Development Strategy is focused on growing our important industries, like manufacturing, to build on Pennsylvania’s resilient economy and unique strengths. We will continue to make bold investments in companies like Hranec and cement the Commonwealth’s status as a manufacturing and economic powerhouse.”
Hranec Corp. specializes in manufacturing, installing, and servicing air handling systems and other sheet metal products for sale to the general public, wholesalers, and contractors.
“It has been a pleasure supporting Steve Hranec and the Hranec Corp.,” added Tim Flecker, Executive Director, Fay-Penn Economic Council. “Steve has built an impressive business here in Fayette County with customers nationwide and a positive economic impact on his community. He continues to reinvest in his business and represents a great example of U.S. manufacturing.”
