Baltimore Fabrication, a Maryland metal fabrication company, will invest $6.2 million to expand its manufacturing operation in York County, Gov. Josh Shapiro announced last week.
The expansion—the company’s second operation in York—will utilize a vacant, 35,000-square-foot building, creating 75 new full-time jobs over the next three years while retaining 47 current positions, the governor’s office stated.
“We’re incredibly excited to expand our operations into York,” said Mark Rich, president of Baltimore Fabrication. “This region’s rich manufacturing heritage and skilled workforce make it the perfect fit for our continued growth.”
Baltimore Fabrication, an affiliate of SteelFab, received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development that includes a $250,000 Pennsylvania First Grant and a $200,000 WEDnet grant to train their workers.
“Baltimore Fabrication’s decision to double-down on Pennsylvania and open a second manufacturing operation here is going to create more opportunity in York County—and it’s another reminder that we’re making real progress on growth and economic development,” Shapiro said.
The company fabricates and erects steel frames for buildings, including beams, columns, trusses, decking, bracing, and other structural members. They also handle miscellaneous metal fabrications, such as staircases, railings, ornamental and decorative work, as well as other custom metal components. They offer a comprehensive turnkey service, handling the entire steel fabrication and erection process, from pre-construction to project management, installation, and safety.
