Berwick manufacturer opening new ribbon plant

Berwick Industries announced it is purchasing the former Berwick Offray facility at 1200 E. Ninth St., with funding support including a $2.8 million PIDA loan and grants, to create 125 jobs.
State funding includes a $3 million PIDA loan, a $200,000 Pennsylvania First grant, and a $150,000 WEDnetPA training grant, coordinated by Governor Shapiro's BusinessPA team.
State leaders framed the project as supporting job creation and economic growth, with Carey Edwards, owner and CEO, saying `We’re not only reopening the doors, but we’re also raising the standard.`
Local officials expect the project will create 125 new jobs and support regional employment growth in Columbia County, supporting dislocated workers.
The plan ties into broader partnerships, with all Berwick-manufactured ribbon and bow products sold to Workhorse Group Companies, which supplies major retailers including Walmart, Target, and Costco, supporting supply chains.
