Hoffman Manufacturing will receive a $521,590 state loan to set up shop in Weisenberg Township, Lehigh County, according to state Senator Pat Browne.

Senator Browne was notified by the Department of Community and Economic Development that the company will receive the PIDA loan to buy a 40,925 square foot building on Kecks Road.

The company plans to move its 30 employees into the new facility, where it will expand its sheet metal manufacturing operation.

"This is a great investment in our community," Senator Browne said. "PIDA enables the state to solidify those types of commitments by investing in companies like Hoffman Manufacturing that provide jobs and help sustain our community."

PIDA provides low-interest loans for land and building acquisition and construction or renovation. It targets manufacturers, industrial developers, research and development firms, agricultural processors and employers establishing national or regional headquarters.
