JARI Congratulates PCT
Michele Clapper
VP, Economic Development
JARI would like to offer congratulations to Para-Coat Technologies, a long standing client, on their new building and
expansion. PCT hosted a Ribbon Cutting Ceremony on Tuesday, August 29 to celebrate the milestone.
PCT purchased the former FreightCar America building along Johns Street in downtown Johnstown earlier this year after outgrowing their original location in JARI's facility. They have relocated their headquarters and manufacturing facilities into a larger space in order to continue growth and production in the Johnstown area. Congratulations and best wishes!
