Toronto, Canada-based Mobile Climate Control consolidated its U.S. operations at its York County facility Thursday with a ribbon cutting attended by Governor’s Action Team Director for Project Management Brian Ross.
Mobile Climate Control, which provides mobile thermal solutions for commercial vehicles, opened its U.S. operations in a new 220,000-square-foot facility at 400 South Salem Church Road in West Manchester Township.
The company received $400,000 from the state Department of Community and Economic Development and committed to investing $3.18 million and creating at least 117 full-time jobs over the next three years. The deal was brokered by the Governer’s Action Team (GAT).
“I’m honored to help cut the ribbon on Mobile Climate Control’s new facility,” said Ross. “The company’s decision to move its U.S. operations to Pennsylvania is a clear testament to our pro-business environment and exceptional manufacturing industry. We look forward to seeing the company grow and thrive right here in central PA.”
Stephen Preisler, vice president of U.S. Operations for Mobile Climate Control, said, ““I am pleased we can today celebrate the official completion of our plant consolidation effort into our new facility on 400 South Salem Church Road in York. We are excited to be fully consolidated here in York County.”
Through GAT, the governor has invested nearly $18 billion over the past seven years to support 433 completed projects and create and retain more than 194,500 jobs.
“This investment in York County reinforces the strength of our workforce, and the opportunities available for businesses to grow in our region,” said Kevin Schreiber, president & CEO, York County Economic Alliance.
“Manufacturing is York County’s largest industry and employer and the expansion by MCC shows how attractive the area has become for industrial investment,” said Tom Palisin, executive director, Manufacturers’ Association. “The association is excited to continue our partnership with MCC to develop their skilled workforce and provide great jobs for the community.”
