The new facility of an eastern Pennsylvania vacuum furnace manufacturing company is beginning to take shape as the next building phase is launched.
Construction at Solar Manufacturing’s new facility in Sellersville, Pennsylvania, advances toward completion with the exterior of the building now fully enclosed, including the nearly 20,000 square foot two-story office building situated in the front of the manufacturing area. The plant is expected to be operational by late summer or early fall 2019.
“This plant will be one of the most advanced facilities in the United States for the assembly of vacuum furnaces,” said Bill Jones. Jones and his wife Myrtle own the Solar Atmospheres family of companies, which includes:
- Solar Manufacturing, Sellersville, PA
- Solar Atmospheres of Souderton, PA
- Solar Atmospheres of Hermitage, PA
- Solar Atmospheres of Greenville, SC
- Solar Atmospheres of Fontana, CA
- Vacuum Pump Services Corp., Hatfield, PA
- Magnetic Specialties, Telford, PA
