CHARLEROI, Pa. — In a statement, glassware manufacturer Anchor Hocking announced that a Mon Valley-based company has purchased a portion of its former Charleroi Corelle glass plant.
Anchor Hocking, which is based in Lancaster, Ohio, said it has entered into a purchase agreement for the sale of nine acres of the former Corelle Glass Manufacturing Facility in Charleroi to Therm-o-Rock East Inc., a manufacturer based in the Mon Valley. Therm-o-Rock, which specializes in perlite and vermiculite and toll manufacturing, has existing facilities in New Eagle and Donora, according to its website.
“We are very pleased to have reached this agreement and, most importantly, to see a path toward bringing new economic activity and jobs back to Washington County,” Anchor Hocking CEO Jim Elliott said. “We appreciate the efforts of everyone involved in getting us to this point and look forward to seeing the facility begin its next chapter.”
