Kennametal to move to Pittsburgh
Kennametal Inc. announced today that it plans to relocate its world headquarters to Pittsburgh, Pa.
The company said the move to an urban location "repositions the company for growth in global markets, recruits new talent and strengthens innovative partnerships with leading universities."
The company has expanded its presence in Pittsburgh, Pa., and will move its corporate leadership team to the U.S. Steel Tower in downtown Pittsburgh while maintaining a substantial presence at its current headquarters in Latrobe, Pa.
"An urban location puts Kennametal in closer proximity to major universities, public transportation and the airport, while presenting us with new opportunities to innovate, grow and recruit new talent," said Kennametal chairman Bill Newlin. "The company believes that with cooperation of Pittsburgh city, county and state officials an agreement for a new building in Pittsburgh is realistic."
