Pitt Specialty Supply Inc. has started work on a $2.2 million addition to its Tarentum building that will enable the growing food service, janitorial and packaging supply business to boost its workforce in the borough.
The company bought a former 34-space borough parking lot behind its Allegheny Street building for $36,000 — and a professional center behind the lot for an undisclosed price — to make room for its new corporate office and distribution center, co-owner Matthew Plocki said.
Pitt Specialty currently employs 14 people in Tarentum and 21 at a distribution center and store off Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh's Strip District.
The Pittsburgh jobs will move to Tarentum once the expanded building is completed in mid- to late summer, Plocki said, and it appears all the workers there will relocate.
