Victaulic, a manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining, fire protection, and flow control solutions, recently hosted a groundbreaking ceremony to celebrate the expansion of its Lawrenceville, PA, foundry in Tioga County.
Elected officials and community partners joined Victaulic leadership to officially begin the $100-plus million expansion project that will create at least 214 new, full-time jobs and retain an additional 1,611 jobs across the Commonwealth. The facility is currently home to 266 employees, a figure that grew by 40 people in 2025 alone.
The 180,000-sq.-ft. additions will accommodate new molding lines, melt furnaces, core machines, and automated finishing and paint equipment. The project advances sustainable growth through clean, modern melting technology and 100% recycled steel.
"Since acquiring this facility in 2021, Tioga County and the Lawrenceville foundry have become an integral part of the Victaulic family," said Rick Bucher, President and CEO of Victaulic. "Our continued capital investment and expansion in the region reflect our deep commitment to this community. The expanded Lawrenceville foundry will increase our North American production capacity and enhance our ability to deliver reliable, innovative solutions where our customers need them most. We are proud to grow right here, close to the customers we serve."
Victaulic's foundry expansion was supported by a $1.5 million investment from Gov. Josh Shapiro and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Victaulic received a funding proposal from the Department of Community and Economic Development for a $1.07 million Pennsylvania First Program grant and up to a $428,000 Workforce and Development Network grant to train workers.
The manufacturing site currently features two foundry molding lines and serves as a key operations facility providing the scale and capacity necessary to support continued growth and service for Victaulic's North American customers.
