Pennsylvania Governor, Tom Wolf says Clarion Sintered Metals (CSM) will expand both its facilities in Ridgway, Elk County, creating 55 new jobs in the State.

“It’s great to see yet another manufacturer expanding right here in Pennsylvania,” said Wolf. “Clarion Sintered Metals is not only creating 55 new manufacturing jobs with this project, but it is retaining a further 262, meaning it will remain a boon to the Elk County community for years to come.

“When strong manufacturers choose to grow in the commonwealth, it’s a win for the company, it’s a win for Pennsylvania, and it’s a win for our workers.”

CSM currently operates in two facilities: a main plant and a second facility within a mile of the main factory. CSM plans to construct a total of more than 60,000 square feet in the facilities which will enable the company to better meet current demand and future growth projections.

The company has committed to invest at least US$6.2m into the project.

“Clarion Sintered Metals is honoured to receive the support of the Governor’s Action Team,” said CSM VP of operations, Dave Bosnik. “This award will impact the future business growth of CSM and will allow us to bring additional jobs to Elk County.”

CSM received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development for a US$110,000 Pennsylvania First grant and US$110,000 in Job Creation Tax Credits to be issued following the creation of the new posts.
