Synergy Steel is investing $2.8 million toward a new operation in Lancaster County in a move projected to create 139 new jobs.

The light gauge steel manufacturing company uses 3D modeling software to construct products to help rising construction costs and skilled labor shortage.

 “We are very pleased the company has selected Lancaster County as their home,” Jamie Gilbert, executive director of the Lancaster County Department of Economic Development, said in a news release. “Metal fabrication is one of our strengths, so Synergy Steel should do very well here.”

The new 32,000-square-foot facility will be located at 1312 Camp Creek Road in Lancaster. It will manufacture steel studs, engineered floor and roof trusses and wall panels for the construction industry.

“Combining light gauge steel manufacturing with the newest framing and panelization techniques provides our clients competitive advantages,” Al Iagnemma, chief operating officer of Synergy Steel said. “We appreciate the opportunity to be part of the growing success of Lancaster County and look forward to being part of and giving back to the community.”

Hiring for new positions is expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2018. Interested applicants can visit the company’s website, www.synergysteelstructures.com.
