In late June, Gov. Josh Shapiro said EAM-Mosca Corp., a leading provider of automatic strapping systems used in commercial packaging that is headquartered in Hazleton, will invest $20.6 million to expand its manufacturing operation in Luzerne County, creating at least 50 new good-paying jobs within the next three years.

With support from the Department of Community and Economic Development, Shapiro said the packaging system manufacturer will renovate its existing facility and purchase new machinery and equipment for its Hazle Township campus at 675 Jaycee Drive.

The $9 million complete renovation of 525 Jaycee Drive is adjacent to EAM-Mosca’s existing headquarters at 675 Jaycee Drive. The new facility is part of a larger $20.6 million strategic initiative to expand the company’s operational footprint within the state in the coming years. It allows for the retention of 157 employees statewide and the creation of 50 new positions. NEPIRC was present at the groundbreaking ceremony to congratulate EAM-Mosca on this exciting endeavor!
