A fast-growing metal fabrication company is betting big on Luzerne County, planning to invest $63.2 million to open its first Pennsylvania facility in Pittston Township and create 309 manufacturing jobs over the next three years. SendCutSend, which makes custom-cut metal parts for clients ranging from hobbyists to Fortune 500 companies, has leased a 170,500-square-foot industrial building at 535 Research Drive inside the CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park.
A Deal Years in the Making
The investment figure and job-creation estimate come from pennbizreport.com, which reports the company's plans to open its inaugural Pennsylvania site in Pittston. The real estate transaction was coordinated by Mericle Vice President Bill Jones alongside the Golarz-Williams industrial team from Colliers, according to Mericle. Colliers Executive Vice President Chris Fairchild and the Golarz-Williams team represented SendCutSend in the lease, which covers the 170,500-square-foot facility at 535-555 Research Drive, as reported by Connect CRE.
Some reporting on the deal has described the planned manufacturing footprint differently. The Times Leader's coverage refers to plans to lease and improve roughly 200,000 square feet of manufacturing space, even as it also describes the building itself as 170,500 square feet — a discrepancy that has not been resolved across the available reporting.
Why Pittston Won Out Over Ohio
SendCutSend weighed its options before settling on Northeast Pennsylvania. Per Mericle's account of the deal, the company chose Pennsylvania over Ohio, a decision credited to Governor Shapiro. Michael Golarz, a member of the Golarz-Williams industrial team at Colliers, said the region's appeal lies in its access to talent, infrastructure, and major transportation networks — a pitch that evidently resonated as the company sized up competing sites.
Pennsylvania's Department of Community and Economic Development sweetened the pitch with a funding proposal for a $3 million Pennsylvania First grant, according to the Times Leader. The outlet reported that the grant funding was framed as recognition of the economic impact of SendCutSend's investment in the region. The new Pittston location is being described as a key addition to SendCutSend's U.S. footprint, one that will expand the company's national manufacturing and fulfillment network and let it serve East Coast customers with faster turnaround times and increased production capacity.
What Happens Inside the Building
The Pittston facility will host CNC machining and laser-cutting operations, the same core services that built SendCutSend's business, according to the Citizens' Voice. The same report notes that SendCutSend was founded in 2018 and is headquartered in Reno, Nevada. The company has grown rapidly since then: it now counts more than 300,000 customers and has produced more than 30 million parts, per WVIA.
That growth has translated into real financial momentum. The Times Leader's report notes SendCutSend surpassed $100 million in annual revenue in 2025, and Mericle's account adds that the company announced a $110 million investment round this year to support further expansion. Industrial trade outlet ien.com has also reported that the company set aside more than $250 million in May to expand existing facilities and establish manufacturing hubs throughout the country, though that figure carries only medium confidence in the available reporting.
A Logistical Win for Northeast Customers
For customers in the Northeast, the new plant is framed as a delivery-time upgrade. Mericle's reporting quotes the company's stated goal that Pittston brings one-day shipping to more of its Northeast customers, tying the facility directly to faster fulfillment rather than just added capacity.
The CenterPoint Commerce & Trade Park site also sits in a labor pool built for manufacturing. More than 14,900 employees already work in goods-producing services within a 10-mile radius of the property, according to a zoomprospector.com listing for the site. SendCutSend isn't the only manufacturer to recently stake a claim on Pennsylvania real estate — GE Vernova announced an expansion of its Power Transmission facility in Charleroi over the summer, part of a $138 million investment expected to create roughly 275 jobs through 2028, with the company projecting $166 million in total Western Pennsylvania investment and more than 700 new manufacturing jobs statewide, according to GE Vernova's own announcement. Pittston Township has drawn other large industrial tenants before, too — Mericle's records show a global beverage manufacturer leased a 403,000-square-foot building in the township last year, though details on that project remain limited.
