North American Hgans expands Johnstown operations

Gov. Tom Wolf announced that North American Höganäs is expanding operations in Cambria County.

Officials say the expansion will bring 25 jobs to the Johnstown area.

“Pennsylvania’s powdered metals industry is a major contributor to our manufacturing sector,” Wolf said. “Höganäs’ decision to expand here is great news for Pennsylvania manufacturing, and will provide at least 25 reliable, family-sustaining jobs for Cambria County workers.”

The powdered metal products manufacturer is investing in new machinery, a new 24,000-square-foot building and additional employees.

The jobs will be added over a three-year period.

The company already supports 135 existing jobs in the area.

“JARI is pleased to provide support to North American Höganäs High Alloys as the company expands their operations in the City of Johnstown,” said Linda R. Thomson, president and CEO of JARI. “Höganäs is a world class, internationally recognized company with state-of-the-art products that is meeting the demands of the new manufacturing age. We appreciate the continuation of the proud Cambria County tradition of leading the way for innovation and we thank the Wolf Administrationadministration for their continuous support.”
