Battery maker coming to Pulaski
East Penn Manufacturing Co., Inc., manufacturer of lead-acid batteries and accessories for the automotive, telecommunications, marine, commercial, industrial and stationary markets, has decided to locate a new facility in the Wurno Warehouses in Pulaski County.
The roughly 24,000 sq. ft. facility will employ four people initially for service and repair of batteries used in mining equipment.
East Penn makes different sizes and types of lead-acid batteries, battery accessories, and wire and cable products. The company currently has over 2 million sq. ft. under roof on a 490+ acre plant site in Lyon Station, Pa.
More manufacturing in Pulaski County - good or bad, and why? What are your thoughts in light of the recent news of Mack Trucks cutting production in Dublin?
I feel for the displaced workers. Montgomery County is an embarrassment when it comes to their Comprehensive Plan and Economic Development. What development? We have no jobs and our Board of Supervisors are only intersted in high-tech industry to support Blacksburg and Tech. What a joke. I am ashamed I live here.
