ASGCO on the move in Pennsylvania as bulk material handling system demand increases

ASGCO will be expanding and moving its headquarters to a newly purchased and soon to be built operation in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, it has announced.

The company, which operates at 301 W Gordon Street in Allentown, Pennsylvania, will be moving to 730 Bangor Road in Nazareth, Pennsylvania, in the fall of 2021, it said.

ASGCO is a manufacturer, distributor and service provider of proprietary conveyor and screening equipment and accessories that improve the safety and performance of bulk material handling systems, it says.

ASGCO’s most recent eastern Pennsylvania expansion involved the purchase of 19 acres (7.7 ha) and now is building a new facility to meet growing demand for its products and services, it said. The new facility will be 194,000 total sq.ft (18,023 sq.m) with 30,000 sq.ft of offices, wellness, and training areas, and the rest dedicated to fabrication, manufacturing, assembly, distribution and service departments.

Construction of the new facility will begin next month and is expected to be completed in the summer of 2021, the company says.

All 90 current Allentown and Nazareth employees are expected to move to the new building, the company said. “While the relocation itself will not immediately result in any new positions, the company anticipates a 30% increase in personnel based on projected sales growth expectations,” it added.
