Fuller Technologies is looking to the past as the US company relocates its headquarters in the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, known in some circles as the former “cement capital of the world”.
In one of the company’s biggest announcements since its acquisition by the private equity firm Pacific Avenue Capital Partners, it has committed to basing its headquarters in the Lehigh Valley, home to several cement plants operated by major companies. Fuller Technologies has confirmed it remains committed to continuing its office locations in India and Denmark alongside establishing its US-based headquarters.
“Our strength comes from being a truly international business with talented teams around the world. Our engineering and manufacturing locations in Europe and Asia are integral to delivering our products and services to a customer base that is truly global and will remain so,” Fuller Technologies chief executive officer Dennis Cassidy said.
“As we develop our base in Pennsylvania, we are also committed to growing our presence and technical expertise in key markets around the world.”
Fuller’s advanced manufacturing facility in Allen Township, Northampton County, continues to operate, and the company has announced plans to expand its workforce there.
“We are committed to creating quality employment opportunities here in Pennsylvania, as we expand our operating presence in the key American cement market,” Cassidy said.
“With many manufacturers facing challenges in attracting skilled workers, workforce development is a strategic priority for us.”
Cassidy said the company was looking forward to establishing its headquarters in an area with significant ties to its history.
“Fuller Technologies is proud to be a global company, while returning to its deep roots in Pennsylvania’s industrial heritage with the relocation of its headquarters to the USA,” he said.
“The Lehigh Valley shaped our identity and capabilities, and we are proud to be a part of its future.”
