Manufacturing/Agriculture
The Greater Susquehanna Valley’s dedicated workforce, advanced infrastructure, strategic location and world-class universities all contribute to the region’s stable economic growth. From its inception as one of the country’s earliest trading outposts and agrarian settlements, to its emergence as a national leader in rural healthcare and the production of value-added wood products, the Greater Susquehanna Valley continues to adapt to global economic changes while offering a uniquely distinct, community-centered quality of life.
Manufacturing – With one out of every four residents employed in manufacturing, the Valley produces a variety of goods, including custom kitchen cabinets, doors, furniture, modular homes, pharmaceuticals, playground equipment, recreational vehicles, fabric and high-end apparel. Some of the top manufacturing employers in the Valley include Wood-Mode, Inc., Merck & Co., Inc., Ritz-Craft, Inc., Yorktowne Cabinets, Conestoga Wood Specialties, Sunbury Textile Mills, Heister House Millworks, Inc., Fabtex, Runnerless Knits, New Columbia Joist and Playworld Systems.
Indeed, the Valley’s agriculture and livestock production continue to make Pennsylvania one of the nation’s leading agricultural states. And as agriculture has changed, so too has an industry that has created such leading agri-businesses as Weis Markets, Furmano Foods, National Beef Packaging Company, LLC, Boyd Station and Kreamer Feed, Inc., to name a few.
