Harrisburg, PA – Earlier today, Governor Josh Shapiro announced that Excelitas Technologies Corp., a leader in photonics technology currently located in Waltham, Massachusetts, has chosen Pennsylvania as the new home of its headquarters and will create at least 250 jobs in Pittsburgh over the next four years.
Currently located in Waltham, Massachusetts, Excelitas has committed to a 12-year lease for 46,000-50,000-square-feet of space at 2545 Railroad Street in Pittsburgh’s Strip District neighborhood. The company will invest $2.3 million and will also retain at least 20 existing jobs statewide. The Shapiro Administration won this project over Ohio and is aggressively competing with other states and countries to attract more businesses to the Commonwealth.
