PASCO COUNTY, FLORIDA (November 7, 2019) —Bay Tech Industries has been in the Tampa Bay area for over 30 years, and nearly a decade in Pasco County.

The company is investing $1.5 million in a 12,170 square foot building expansion as well as new equipment.

“We love working with our existing industries in Pasco County, especially veteran-owned, and seeing them grow,” said Bill Cronin, Pasco EDC President. “It’s rare to see an entire family work together successfully with the typical stresses of running a business, but they have it figured out, they have a great team.”
