(Aliquippa, PA) Industrial and mechanical fabricator McCarl’s LLC is investing $15 million to expand its operations in Beaver County, including the purchase of an 80,000-square-foot facility in Aliquippa that will serve as a fabrication hub and company headquarters, state Rep. Rob Matzie announced yesterday. 

Matzie said the company is expanding its pipe fabrication operations to meet growing demand and that Beaver County’s workforce is positioned to support the growth. 

To support the project, Gov. Josh Shapiro’s BusinessPA team coordinated an additional $2 million Pennsylvania First grant through the Department of Community and Economic Development, according to Matzie. 

The larger integrated facility at 210 Bet-Tech Drive in Aliquippa will include welding booths, robotic welding machines and other equipment designed to reduce production time and increase output. The building will also serve as the company’s new headquarters.
