Area Industry
The industries in our Tri County area are so diverse, that it would be
impossible for us to get through one day without using some object that is
manufactured here.
We wake up in homes built with concrete block foundations from Kohlhepp Stone Center,
lumber from Brookville, and kitchen cabinets made in Clearfield. We spread Beaver Meadow Creamery butter on our morning toast, drive cars whose parts are
made at Triangle Suspension Systems, drive to work on roads paved by
Glenn O. Hawbaker, Inc. or DuBrook, Inc., cut our
grass with lawn mowers whose parts are made at GKN Sintered Metals,
and afterwards we enjoy a cold beer brewed in St. Marys—in a beer bottle made at Owens-Illinois in Brockway. You may be using
some of these products where you live, too. Many of our manufacturers ship their products to other states and to countries around the world.
To get those products to market, there is a network of interstate and state highways, rail freight and air
freight. An intermodal truck/rail facility is under construction near I-80 Exit 97 and Route 219 and our area is one of the few that has industrial properties
with access to rail sidings. The Foreign
Trade Zone at the DuBois Regional Airport enables manufacturers to benefit from reduced, deferred, or
duty-free tariff on imported goods used in their products.
