YORK, Pa. (WHTM) – The Wolf administration celebrated its huge manufacturing investment Thursday, December 1 during a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a new manufacturing facility in York County.
The celebration comes as an international company called Mobile Climate Control, a commercial vehicle HVAC manufacturer, officially opened its new US facility in York, according to the Department for Community and Economic Development (DCED). The new manufacturing facility is 220,000 square feet and is expected to create 117 full-time jobs over the next three years.
“I’m honored to be able to help cut the ribbon on Mobile Climate Control’s new facility,” said Brian Ross, associate director of project management for the Governor’s Action Team (GAT). “The company’s decision to relocate its US operations to Pennsylvania is a clear testament to our business-friendly environment and exceptional manufacturing industry. We look forward to seeing the company grow and prosper here in central PA.”
In January 2022, Gov. Tom Wolf announced that Mobile Climate Control would receive a $400,000 funding proposal from DCED, according to DCED, in addition to committing to a $3.18 million investment in the project. Over the past seven years, Wolf has invested an estimated $18 billion through GAT, completing 433 distinct projects and sustaining 194,500 jobs in Pennsylvania.
“I am pleased that today we can celebrate the official completion of our facility consolidation efforts at our new facility at 400 South Salem Church Road, York,” said Stephen Preisler, Vice President of US Operations for Mobile Climate Control. “We are pleased to be fully consolidated here in York County.”
