In celebration of National Manufacturing Day on Oct. 7, Penn United Technologies will have an opening ceremony and open recruiting event focused on manufacturing line technicians at its newly renovated manufacturing facility.

This event will showcase the new facility at 300 North Pike Road in Sarver and promote careers in manufacturing for the high-tech markets throughout Penn United.

“In the last few years, we have experienced unprecedented demand driven by exponential growth in our connected world, and the need for stamped and plated electrical contacts and terminals,” Bill Jones, President and CEO of Penn United Technologies said. “As a result, we have outgrown our current facility. We are excited to announce that this fall we will start moving into our new advanced materials processing facility.”

A grand opening ceremony kicks off the day in the early afternoon. It will be celebrated with a tour, lunch and ceremonial ribbon-cutting.

Following the grand opening, an open house recruiting event will be held from 3 to 6 p.m. The facility will be open to community members and anyone interested in exploring careers at Penn United.

More details on the schedule of events for the day will be released at a later time.
