The company will also receive a $400,000 Pennsylvania Industrial Development Authority (PIDA) loan for the project and can apply for the department’s Manufacturing Tax Credit (MTC) programme.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf’s Action Team, a group of professionals with knowledge of economic development, has co-ordinated the project.
Governor Wolf said: “It’s no secret that the commonwealth is home to a robust and diverse manufacturing industry, which Trivium has contributed to for more than 20 years in Pennsylvania.
“We are thrilled to support this expansion as Trivium makes upgrades to keep up with consumer demand while bringing nearly 50 new jobs to the region.”
Trivium Packaging provides shaping, decoration, embossing, debossing and opening solutions for metal packaging to more than 1,300 customers.
The company was formed after a merger of Exal Corporation and Ardagh Group‘s Global Food and Speciality business.
