Primary Industries in Harrisburg
Harrisburg’s strongest manufacturing sectors — and the precision parts we machine for each.

Harrisburg's defense corridor includes Letterkenny Army Depot (missile and air defense maintenance), the Defense Distribution Center Susquehanna in New Cumberland, and BAE Systems' York operations building combat vehicle components for Army ground programs.

Harrisburg's industrial equipment sector is shaped by the region's energy infrastructure, food processing, and logistics operations. Exelon's Three Mile Island nuclear facility (now in decommissioning transition) and associated power infrastructure drive demand for pumps, valves, and heat exchangers. The Hershey Company's manufacturing complex in nearby Hershey requires food-grade pumps, conveyors, and packaging machinery. TE Connectivity's Harrisburg operations need precision fluid-handling components, and the Susquehanna River's water management infrastructure requires pumps, gates, and valve systems.

Harrisburg's medical device sector benefits from central Pennsylvania's advanced manufacturing base and logistics accessibility. Penn State Health Milton S. Hershey Medical Center drives clinical demand and device research, UPMC Pinnacle adds hospital procurement volume, and the region's precision shops — built on defense, printing, and food processing equipment manufacturing — bring transferable capabilities to surgical instrument and diagnostic device production.
