Mosbach Manufacturing seeks conditional-use permit to open light-manufacturing site at 1124 McLaughlin Run Road
Summary
Mosbach Manufacturing asked Bridgeville Borough Council for a conditional-use permit to operate a light-manufacturing facility at the former A&H building, citing demand from data-center customers and plans to start with a handful of employees and grow to as many as 19. The planning commission recommended adding a pedestrian-access stripe across the front parking edge; no public comments were offered at the hearing.
Mosbach Manufacturing asked Bridgeville Borough Council on Oct. 9, 2025, for a conditional-use permit to operate a light-manufacturing facility at 1124 McLaughlin Run Road, the former A&H building in the McLaughlin Run/Baldwin Street overlay district.
Borough staff introduced the application and said the planning commission reviewed it and recommended one condition: striped pedestrian access along the front edge of the parking area to protect people using the short sidewalk that ends at the property. Borough engineer reviews dated Sept. 17 and Sept. 22 were entered into the record and staff said the applicant had addressed the engineer's comments about parking and trip-generation documentation.
Dan Stein, vice president of operations for Mosbach Manufacturing, said the company manufactures power resistors and load banks used to test power-generation and distribution equipment and that growth in data-center demand is driving a need for additional space. "We currently run a facility ... down the street," Stein said, and the company hopes the 1124 building will allow them to expand capacity.
On operational details, Stein said the building's bays can accommodate large units and that production at the site would initially be modest: "we would only need to make an additional one or two per month," with room to grow to about six to eight larger units per month over time. He said the typical shift would be 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with a starting workforce of four to five employees and potential growth to about 19 employees.
Council members asked about parking, loading, signage, shift hours and how the equipment would be moved for shipment; Stein said assembly and testing would occur indoors and units could be pushed directly onto trucks for shipping. After questions, the council opened public comment and no members of the public spoke. The hearing was adjourned and the borough indicated the matter will proceed through the conditional-use permitting process and, separately, any required building-permit and occupancy changes.
The record includes the application packet dated Sept. 8, 2025; posted notice and legal-ad publication dates; borough engineer review letters; and planning commission minutes documenting the recommended pedestrian-access condition.
