Schuylkill County manufacturer to expand York facility
Schuylkill County-based custom fabricator and manufacturer Cardinal Systems, Inc. plans to invest nearly $9 million into expanding its Schuylkill County and Manchester Township, York County facilities.
The Wolf Administration announced on Friday that Cardinal received $317,000 in state grant funding and a $3 million Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) loan to move forward with plans to expand its two facilities.
The projects are expected to retain 300 current positions and create at least 59 new jobs over the next three years.
Cardinal, founded in 1976, manufactures steel wall panels, thermomoulded and extruded plastic products and vinyl liners for swimming pools.
At its York facility, the company plans to install IT data lines, HVAC systems and office space to expand its vinyl liner production. In Schuylkill County, Cardinal is building a new office and warehouse space to streamline its shipping operations.
“Cardinal Systems’ expansion will not only support keeping up with an increased consumer demand, but it will improve and make safer the company’s Schuylkill County facility, all while bringing dozens of new manufacturing jobs to communities in both York and Schuylkill counties,” said Wolf. “Bringing these new, full-time opportunities to Pennsylvanians in our renowned manufacturing industry has never been more important as the state recovers from the COVID-19 pandemic.”
