Mountain Ridge Metals, an aluminum extrusion company based in Millersburg, Dauphin County has begun work on an over 111,000-square-foot manufacturing facility and corporate office space.

Mowery, a Mechanicsburg-based design-build contractor, broke ground on the manufacturing company’s new facility this week, it said in a press release.

Mountain Ridge Metals specializes in aluminum extrusion painting, fabrication and engineering services. The business is family-owned and operated.

“This is one of our most unique projects not only because the facility is family-owned and operated, but also because of the impact the final build will have on our community,” said David Cross, owner and president of Mowery. “The new facility will create more jobs in the mid-state and bring more manufacturing locally, which is beneficial to the economy.”

The new facility gives Mountain Ridge the chance to expand operations, said Adderly Sponsler, director of marketing at Mountain Ridge.

“At Mountain Ridge Metals, we strive to be an ally for our customers. Everything we do is centered on quality and customer service. When we came to the realization that our current facility was not able to meet our current capacity demands, we knew it was time to expand,” said Sponsler.
