A leader in bringing high-tech manufacturing jobs back to the U.S., Re:Build's operations at the new regional headquarters in New Kensington will focus on state-of-the-art fabrication, manufacturing, and integration and assembly projects in high-growth, innovation-driven industries including: energy, life sciences, robotics, electric mobility, satellite communications, and aerospace. The project will create Re:Build's first ground-up manufacturing facility in the U.S. here in Pennsylvania. "I'm proud that Re:Build chose Western Pennsylvania for this project - sending a strong signal to other companies that Pennsylvania is open for business and we want you here," said Governor Shapiro. "Making our Commonwealth a leader in innovation, job creation, and economic development is a top priority for my Administration, and we stand ready to continue making projects like this one possible. The funding increases in my budget will help us attract more companies like Re:Build that want to come to Pennsylvania and help retain the growing businesses that are already here - and we will continue to drive innovation on a global scale."
