Schaedler Yesco buys building to enhance its western Pa. market
Paula Wolf//May 13, 2022
Harrisburg-based Schaedler Yesco Distribution Inc. announced the purchase of a 90,000-square-foot building in Westmoreland County to further serve its western Pennsylvania customers.
Established in 1924, the company is a fourth-generation, family- and employee-owned “provider of complete connected solutions for the electrical industry,” according to a release.
It has 22 locations in Pennsylvania and one in New York, and offers services and products for lighting, datacomm, automation and industrial needs.
Schaedler Yesco President Farrah Mittel informed employees of the acquisition May 10.
“Next month we will close on the purchase of a new facility in Lower Burrell, Pa., just 15 miles northeast of our current Pittsburgh location,” she said. “We have long known that our western market holds plenty of opportunities. Over the last few years, we have been diligently looking in that area for a facility conducive to growing our inventory and services so we can win a larger piece of those opportunities.”
In Burrell Plaza along Leechburg Road, the long-vacant building was the former home of a JCPenney.
Greg Schaedler, the company’s CEO, added: “We’re excited to put life back into this building. Not only will it be a great facility to serve our customers, but we’re eager to be part of the local community.”
The design and construction phase will begin quickly after closing, Schaedler said, with an opening expected in the summer of 2023.
