John Brothers Holdings is investing $11 million to revive a shuttered facility to begin manufacturing wood components in Union County. The Commonwealth is investing $450,000 to support the project, which will create 78 new jobs over the next three years and retain 465 existing positions.

John Brothers Holdings is acquiring the neighboring site and equipment of a closed cabinetry manufacturer at 100 Industrial Park Road in Mifflinburg. The company is also establishing a new subsidiary, John Brothers Wood Products, which will upgrade and reconfigure the plant’s existing infrastructure to support wood component manufacturing aligned with the company’s broader local supply chain. The company has begun hiring a number of previously displaced cabinetry manufacturing workers.

“This announcement reinforces that Pennsylvania is making strategic investments that deliver real results for our communities and our workforce,” said DCED Secretary Rick Siger. “This expansion in Mifflinburg will create 78 new jobs, retain 465 existing positions, and bring new life to a previously shuttered facility. The launch of John Brothers Wood Products strengthens Pennsylvania’s manufacturing supply chain while also creating a pathway for displaced workers to get back on the job. We’re thrilled to support companies that are growing, investing, and building long-term opportunity right here in Pennsylvania.”

Johns Brothers Holdings is a Pennsylvania-based, family-owned corporation headquartered in Mifflinburg.
