The new facility will manufacture pigmented films used to produce color filter components for LCD flat panel displays. Also, DuPont's fuel cell technology development program, which is supported by the state's Opportunity Grant Program, is moving forward in existing Towanda facilities.

"DuPont's success is Pennsylvania's success and that is why we are investing in the company's vision of becoming a leading global supplier of fuel cell membranes and components," the Governor said.  "The commonwealth is already home to one of the nation's most progressive alternative energy portfolio standards, guaranteeing that 18 percent of all generated energy comes from clean, efficient sources by 2020. Our investment in DuPont is an investment in a cleaner future for all Pennsylvanians."
