Pasqualichio Brothers Inc. recently purchased Lot 14-A, a 4.91-acre parcel in the Valley View Business Park, from the Scranton Lackawanna Industrial Business Company (SLIBCO) for the construction of a new facility. SLIBCO is the industrial development affiliate of the Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce.
“After a long, exhaustive search, and with the invaluable assistance provided by SLIBCO and The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce throughout the process, we feel fortunate to have found the property in the Valley View Industrial Park,” said Mike Pasqualichio, president, Pasqualichio Brothers Inc. “Pasqualichio Brothers Inc., began operations more than 37 years ago in downtown Scranton, and as a third-generation, family-owned and operated company, we are very excited to be able to stay in Lackawanna County to grow and expand our company.”
The company plans to construct a 40,000 square-foot office, manufacturing and warehouse facility in the Valley View Business Park, allowing it to expand its operations in addition to its Scranton facility. The expansion will allow the company to retain 45-50 employees and create 10 to 15 new jobs over the next three years.
“The Chamber economic development team is proud to have had the opportunity to work with Pasqualichio Brothers in selecting a site for their next manufacturing facility,” said Bob Durkin, president of The Greater Scranton Chamber of Commerce and executive vice president of SLIBCO. “The Pasqualichio family has grown the business into a third-generation, family-owned and operated Lackawanna County employer. Their expansion into Valley View Business Park will allow them to achieve company growth for years to come.”
