ADVISORY - Creating Jobs in Westmoreland County: Shapiro-Davis Administration Secures $13.6 Million Investment from Premier Automation to Expand its Manufacturing Operation and Create and Retain Jobs in Westmoreland County

Governor Josh Shapiro announced that the Commonwealth is investing more than $3 million to support Premier Automation's (Premier) manufacturing expansion in Westmoreland County. The engineered solutions company, which specializes in creating and upgrading industrial robotic automation systems to help businesses run more efficiently, will inject $13.6 million into the local economy, create 111 new jobs, and retain at least 130 existing positions over the next five years.

Premier has purchased a 170,000-square-foot building at 3700 Haney Court in Murrysville to expand its manufacturing operations. As part of its commitment to the Commonwealth, the company is also maintaining all existing operations at its headquarters in Monroeville, Allegheny County.

"Today's announcement is yet another example of how Pennsylvania leads the way in innovation, and we'll continue to support cutting-edge manufacturing companies like Premier that are creating new solutions to tackle problems, lower costs, and help businesses succeed," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "My Administration is laser-focused on driving even more economic growth and my 2025-26 budget proposal calls for significant, and necessary, new investments to further implement the economic development strategy and create more opportunities like this in Pennsylvania."
