The awardees were chosen by an independent judging panel selected by the state’s partners, Team Pennsylvania Foundation (Team PA) and Journal Multimedia.

Pennex was a finalist in the Jobs First category.  In the past few years the demand for extruded aluminum parts increased, particularly in the automobile industry.  Pennex has seen growth in all facilities, including the addition of the Greenville cast house and expanded fabrication operations in York.  Expansion is underway in Leetonia, OH to further handle the automotive industry needs.
