Supporting the Plastics Industry
Pittsburgh sits atop the Marcellus Shale which is already one of the largest reservoirs of natural gas in the world. The Utica Shale, which underlies the Marcellus, is only recently starting to be tapped and is looking, by itself, to be the largest natural gas reservoir in the world.
Why Your Next Facility Should be in The Pittsburgh Region
Western Pennsylvania is quickly becoming a national hub for the plastics industry, driven by abundant natural gas from the Marcellus Shale and anchored by the nearby Shell Polymers Monaca facility—one of the largest polyethylene production plants in North America.
Located in Beaver County, just outside Pittsburgh, Ambridge Regional Distribution and Manufacturing Center offers industrial sites with rail, highway, and utility access ideal for resin production, plastic fabrication, injection molding, packaging, and advanced polymer manufacturing.
