Fabricators Supply is adding enhanced laser fabrication capabilities, creating 15 jobs.
JACKSON, Miss.—Custom machining and metal fabrication company Fabricators Supply is expanding its operations in West Point. The project represents a $2.675 million corporate investment and will create 15 jobs, according to a release from the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA).
Fabricators Supply was founded in West Point in 2001. The company offers a range of metal fabrication capabilities, including drilling, pressing, milling, plasma cutting, and design. The expansion adds enhanced laser fabrication to the company’s current operations, the release stated.
“Fabricators Supply’s expansion is another strong indicator of the continued growth of advanced manufacturing in the Golden Triangle,” said Golden Triangle Development LINK CEO Joe Max Higgins, in the release. “By adding enhanced laser fabrication capabilities, they’re strengthening their position in the market while creating new job opportunities for the skilled workforce in West Point and Clay County. We’re proud to support their growth and look forward to their continued success in the region.”
Mississippi Development Authority is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. The Clay County Board of Supervisors and city of West Point are also assisting with the project.
“MDA is eager to support our local businesses as they invest right here at home, showing other companies that Mississippi is an optimal place to do business,” said Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork, in the release. “Our pro-business government, easy access to domestic and international markets, and top-notch workforce combine so companies like Fabricators Supply don’t need to look beyond our state lines to find lasting success.”
“Mississippi is a strong manufacturing state because we never gave up on manufacturing,” said Governor Tate Reeves, in a statement. “Fabricators Supply’s expansion is a testament to the fact that ‘Made in Mississippi’ is a stamp of excellence. It’s something that our manufacturers can be proud of every single day. I thank the Fabricators Supply team for its commitment to our state and for creating more than a dozen new employment opportunities for the people of Clay County.”
