Governor Josh Shapiro and Department of Community and Economic Development (DCED) Secretary Rick Siger joined Pratt Industries Executive Global Chairman Anthony Pratt to announce a new commitment by the corrugated packaging company to invest $500 million and create hundreds of jobs in Pennsylvania over the next ten years. The announcement was made today as Governor Shapiro and Secretary Siger toured the company's state-of-the-art plant in Carlisle, which employs 215 workers in full-time manufacturing jobs. Since taking office, Governor Shapiro has announced over $1.2 billion in new private sector investment in Pennsylvania. "I want to plant a flag, and make it clear to companies across the country and around the world that Pennsylvania is open for business. Having Pratt Industries invest a total of $1 billion in Pennsylvania and create hundreds of new jobs is a clear sign that the Commonwealth is a place where global businesses can grow and succeed," said Governor Josh Shapiro. "Whether they're based in Australia or Allegheny County, we are showing the private sector that an investment in our Commonwealth is a worthwhile one - and companies that commit to moving and growing here know that the Commonwealth will be an active partner, and that we'll work as hard for them as they work for their customers and employees."
