What is new at Halvern.
Responding to strong dealer demand, Halvern has doubled its porcelain and sintered stone inventory in Mechanicsburg and added fabrication tooling and adhesives to the line. "Porcelain is where our dealers are heading, and we intend to be the best-stocked supplier in the region," said Leah Halvern, Vice President of Sales.
Halvern will install a five-axis saw and a waterjet in its Mechanicsburg fabrication shop in spring 2027. The investment of more than $600,000 is expected to roughly double cutting capacity.
Founder Walter Halvern joined employees for a 45th anniversary lunch in Mechanicsburg. "My father built this company on showing up," said President Mark Halvern. "That has not changed, and it will not change when the next generation takes over."
Halvern has completed the move of its Altoona branch onto Halvern's ERP and warehouse systems, one year after acquiring Juniata Ridge Laminates.
Halvern Surface Supply has acquired Juniata Ridge Laminates of Altoona, adding a second distribution center and extending delivery into western and northern Pennsylvania.
