Wickersham Construction & Engineering, Inc. was established during the rise of America’s industrial era—at a time when large-scale manufacturing was reshaping the economy and the built environment. As companies like Hershey Foods and Vanity Fair revolutionized access to consumer goods, we were helping them expand with the facilities they needed to grow. Wickersham built over 30 factory additions for Milton S. Hershey as he developed his chocolate empire in Central Pennsylvania, laying the groundwork for a legacy of trust in the industrial sector.
More than a century later, we continue to serve industrial clients with the same commitment to quality, innovation, and long-term partnership. Our work today includes complex projects for the manufacturing, food processing, and pharmaceutical industries—where precision, cleanliness, and safety are non-negotiable. From production facilities and process-driven environments to infrastructure upgrades and plant expansions, we understand the operational demands of modern industry and bring the experience, resources, and responsiveness to meet them.
