Cardinal Systems Expands Pennsylvania Manufacturing Operations
05/17/2021
Specifically, the company will expand its Schuylkill County headquarters, which will include the construction of new office and warehouse space. The York County portion of the project will include the installation of required IT data lines, HVAC systems and office space in an existing area of an adjacent building.
“We are excited to embark on this expansion of our manufacturing facility during this unprecedented busy time brought on by the pandemic. As a family-owned business, we believe strongly in investing in our people and our operation as a way to provide a solid foundation for our success as an American manufacturer. We look forward to using this opportunity for growth to pave the way for our future,” said Cardinal Systems, Inc., Owner Rachel Bradley.
According to state officials, a critical component of this project is the need for upgrades to the on-site storm sewer system at the Schuylkill County project site, mitigating flooding events for this location while providing increased capacity for additional businesses along Route 61.
“Cardinal Systems’ expansion will not only support keeping up with an increased consumer demand, but it will improve and make safer the company’s Schuylkill County facility, all while bringing dozens of new manufacturing jobs to communities in both York and Schuylkill counties,” said Governor Tom Wolf. “Bringing these new, full-time opportunities to Pennsylvanians in our renowned manufacturing industry has never been more important as the state recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
The company received a funding proposal from the Pennsylvania Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) for a $258,000 Pennsylvania First Grant, a $59,000 workforce development grant to help the company train workers, and a $3 million Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) loan. The company has committed to investing at least $8.8 million into the project, retaining 300 current positions and creating at least 59 new jobs over the next three years.
“We are excited to see the next generation of the Bradley family making such a significant investment in both their facility and their employees which will further enhance their continued growth as one of Schuylkill County’s leading, family-owned manufacturers. SEDCO is pleased to have assisted them in this project,” said Karen Kenderdine, chairperson of the Schuylkill Economic Development Corporation (SEDCO).
Cardinal was established in Schuylkill County in 1976 and is a leading manufacturer of steel and plastic products, custom fabricates and manufactures steel wall panels, thermomoulded and extruded plastic products, and vinyl liners for the swimming pool industry.
