According to the Lehigh Valley Insider, Victaulic is planning to invest tens of million dollars in that area, in a plan to expand its Lehigh Valley manufacturing operations and adding a second shift to its Forks Township facility, adding 45 to 50 new jobs by the end of 2018. Victaulic already acquired 113,000 m2 of land, in order to build a 37,000 m2 new building. Additionally, the company will be making a capital investment in its existing Lower Macungie Township facility, which is currently operating at full capacity.
