After just recently completing an $8 million project increasing their capacity for fertilizer additive, Albemarle’s Tyrone, PA plant announced a $30 million expansion that will result in the creation of 20 new jobs for Blair County.
The project calls for construction of three new buildings: 7,000 square feet of office/lab space; 3,500 square feet of maintenance area; and a 7,000-square-foot processing plant. “This will be the single largest expansion project ever at the plant,” said Randy Andrews, Plant Manager. “We
hope to break ground in March and be up and running during the first quarter of 2014. This will allow us more room to grow and enable us to add more jobs down the road.”
Albemarle’s plant is located in the Tyrone Industrial Park located in the northern end of Blair County and has been part of the business community since 1975. “ABCD Corp. through its predecessor Altoona Enterprises was instrumental in the development of the original Tyrone Industrial Park, and it
is exciting to be here today, so many years later, continuing our economic development efforts,” said Steve Foreman, Chairman of ABCD Corp.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania through the Governor’s Action Team will provide a $100,000 Pennsylvania First Grant and $50,000 in job training assistance for the project. “This was a total team effort, and I have no doubt this will not
be our last trip to Blair County to support a job creating effort. We truly believe the best is yet to come,” said Kate Fairweather, Central Region Director for the Governor’s Action Team.
Representatives from Albemarle’s headquarters located in Louisiana were on hand for the announcement and excited about the continued growth in Blair County. “This project shows how we can come together to make good things happen. This facility is built around strong community minded people, the people here are second to none. You should be proud of what you have here and what you are building,” said Ronald C. Zumstein, Vice Pres. of Manufacturing, Albemarle Corp.
Albemarle manufactures between 20 and 25 different products at its Tyrone
plant, which are shipped off to larger chemical companies.
