Premier Tech strengthens its presence in the United States with the grand opening of a new facility in Williamsport, Pennsylvania.
This site will house the first manufacturing plant in the USA for Premier Tech Water and Environment. This investment aims to sustain its growth in the American market.

It will also allow for a stronger local foothold and an increased production capacity that will not only serve clients in Pennsylvania but also set the stage for an enhanced presence in the states of Iowa and New Jersey.

“Today, we are celebrating the opening of Premier Tech Water and Environment manufacturing facility in Williamsport. We’re not just opening doors; we’re opening opportunities. This new plant is a symbol of growth, jobs, and a prosperous future for our community,” says Derek Slaughter, mayor of Williamsport.
“This investment reinforces our 25-plus-year presence in the United States. It will allow us to better serve our clients and create more value for them as well as bringing our products to new markets,” says Donald E Hockenbury, operations director at Premier Tech Water and Environment.
Premier Tech’s presence in the United States goes back to the company’s beginnings in 1923. Having reached its first century, Premier Tech now has some 370 team members in over 30 states and five manufacturing facilities, highlighting its commitment to keep investing and growing its presence in America.
In fact, this new plant comes less than a year after the unveiling of the new headquarters for Premier Tech Systems and Automation in Montgomery, Alabama, as well as the expansion of its facility in Salt Lake City, Utah.
