Geissele Automatics purchased 800 E Walnut Street in North Wales, a 70,000 SF property on 13 acres, for $1.85M.
Geissele Automatics currently operates its production facility out of Norristown, PA, a site which has housed the renowned defense contractor and rifle trigger manufacturing company for the past four years. “A year ago we made the choice to look for a new facility because we needed more space to create better efficiency in the delivery of our products,” stated Bill Geissele, founder and President. “The new facility will allow us the opportunity to grow and expand for many years to come.”
The North Wales site was the former home of Fitzpatrick Container Corporation, which is a manufacturer of corrugated boxes. The company has since expanded and moved to a larger plant in Macungie, PA.
