Exeter, Pennsylvania, September 29, 2022 -- PowerRail, North America’s leading distributor of aftermarket
locomotive parts and components, recently celebrated the company’s move from Duryea to their new
global headquarters located in Exeter, Pennsylvania.
An Open House and Ribbon Cutting Event was held at the new location with local, county, and state
elected officials there to help welcome guests. PowerRail CEO and Chairman of the Board, Paul
Foster, said the company more than doubled its space by moving from approximately 90,000 square
feet in Duryea to the more than 200,000-square-foot building in Exeter.
“So far, the move has been a positive one, and the future looks bright,” said Foster.
PowerRail has other facilities in the United States, partnerships in Canada, and a parallel company in
Australia, but they have made Exeter their home. During the Ribbon Cutting ceremony, Foster
wanted to thank local and state officials for their support and assistance over the years, including
leading up to the move, as well as the support of the employees, customers, and vendors.
“I want to thank all the employees that helped us move here. It was a lot of work,” stated Foster. He
continued, “I also really appreciate the many people that flew in or drove here to see us and to see
the new facility. It demonstrates how PowerRail’s culture has grown beyond just these walls, and I’m
very indebted for that.”
During the event, guests mingled outside, playing cornhole and enjoying refreshments. PowerRail
employees offered tours of the new facility, allowing guests to see the company’s operations inside
and out.
