Flabeg expansion plans spurs infrastructure upgrades

Flabeg Corp.'s plan to build a $33 million manufacturing facility in Findlay has prompted Allegheny County to seek up to $1.5 million from the state for infrastructure improvements.

Flabeg, which designs and engineers high-tech optical products and mirrors, said it will build a 150,000-square-foot plant and a 50,000-square-foot office annex on land leased from the Buncher Co. in the Clinton Commerce Park.

The company said the initial building will house a business unit by 2010 that will create about 300 jobs. Flabeg will continue its Brackenridge plant, where 200 are employed.


Flabeg is in line to receive a $9 million aid package from the state and county. The Redevelopment Authority of Allegheny County on Thursday approved a request for the state grant.
