Victaulic, the world’s pioneering manufacturer of mechanical pipe joining, fire protection, and flow control solutions, has purchased a 220,000-square-foot manufacturing plant in Lawrenceville, PA, and celebrated with a grand reopening.
Victaulic’s Lawrenceville facility has added nearly 60 new jobs to Tioga County and anticipates adding approximately 40 more shortly.

New hires will join the current Victaulic team of more than 1,600 Pennsylvania employees and approximately 4,500 people globally.

Scalable facility
