Overview

• Abington’s fire marshal concluded the February blaze was accidental due to a compressed-air system failure, with FBI and ATF finding no foul play.
• SPS says construction on the original site will start in 2026, with production targeted for 2028 and investment in the hundreds of millions of dollars.
• The replacement facility will be smaller than the former complex and incorporate solar panels and other green features to meet LEED goals.
• Company officials project about 200 jobs at the new site initially as automation and robotics replace destroyed equipment, with potential growth tied to future contracts.
• To maintain output, SPS salvaged about 20% of machinery and moved limited production to a leased Langhorne warehouse and other company plants.
