LAKE CITY, PA – Electronics manufacturer AirBorn broke ground on a $3.7 million investment here that will double its size in PA and add up to 249 new jobs.

"AirBorn's investment in Lake City is a testament both to the workforce and to the partnership we've formed with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania," said president and COO. "We build innovative electronic solutions for companies large and small."

"The Wolf administration is committed to making investments like this that create significant economic impact all across the region and help Pennsylvania become a leader in innovation," said Department of Community and Economic Development Secretary Dennis Davin. "We applaud AirBorn for their commitment to strengthening the workforce and the communities of Erie."

The addition to its existing facility, along with new equipment and tooling, will expand AirBorn's capacity to supply reliable electronic components to manufacturers of military equipment, commercial airplanes, spacecraft and medical equipment.

Current openings include engineers, assemblers, technicians, supply chain and shipping/receiving.
