EIGHTY FOUR, Pa.  – 84 Lumber continues to expand its services in the Mid-Atlantic with the opening of another component plant in Newark, Delaware.

The company’s newest plant, at 10 Aleph Drive, is a 21,113-square-foot building on 3.12 acres. Formerly Warren Truss, 84 Lumber acquired the facility in June 2024 to manufacture wall panels and floor trusses to meet the growing market demand in Delaware, New Jersey, and the greater Philadelphia metro area.

“We now have three locations to service these markets,” said Sean O’Connell, general manager of the New Britain, Newark, and Bloomsburg truss plants. “This includes our facilities in New Britain and the recently opened truss plant in Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania.”

The plant began operating in January with 10 associates. The company plans to hire a total of 50 associates by 2026.
