Hanover-based Gerard Daniel Worldwide, North America’s largest manufacturer and distributor of porous media to the filtration, separation and barrier markets, plans to invest $2.1 million to expand its manufacturing operations.
The company will perform building infrastructure upgrades to its existing manufacturing, add equipment and install a new electrical transformer.
“Gerard Daniel Worldwide is excited to continue its long-standing partnership with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania,” Jack Slinger, Gerard Daniel Worldwide CEO, said. “As a company headquartered in Pennsylvania, we remain committed to investing in and expanding our manufacturing operations throughout the state.
