SPS Technologies To Unveil Future After Fire On Thursday

ABINGTON TOWNSHIP, PA — SPS Technologies will hold a community meeting on Thursday to share its future plans following a mid-February fire that destroyed its 600,000-square-foot building.

Abington Township officials said the meeting will take place from 7-9 p.m. on Sept. 25 at the Abington School District Middle School Little Theater at 2056 Susquehanna Road.

SPS Technologies is expected to discuss plans to build a state-of-the-art aerospace fasterners facility at its location on Highland Avenue.

Abington officials had reported in early August that the demolition of the building was "ahead of schedule."

The demolition started in mid-May, three months after the massive fire at the Highland Avenue building fought by over 70 fire companies.

Abington Township Commissioners Vice Chairman Matt Vahey has said that the new structure will have a smaller footprint and will be built to modern standards.

One month after the fire, SPS Technologies announced it was laying off half of its 500-person workforce.

The average SPS Technologies employee has worked at the company for 25 years and was offered four weeks of compensation, officials said.

The cause of the fire is still under investigation.
