BUTTING Plants Roots in Loxley!

Global stainless steel pipe gurus, BUTTING, just officially broke ground in Loxley, folks! They're building their very first U.S. production facility AND North American HQ right here in our backyard, marking a massive step in their American market takeover.

A Rooting Ceremony, Not Just Groundbreaking!

Instead of the usual shovel-in-the-dirt gig, BUTTING's bigwigs, along with state officials and local partners, celebrated with a super cool "rooting ceremony." They planted a huge 200-gallon live oak tree – a symbol of their long-term commitment to Baldwin County and the U.S. Boom!

Governor Ivey's Take

Governor Ivey chimed in, saying Alabama's still THE place for global manufacturers looking to crush it in America. She noted BUTTING's decision as a huge win for Baldwin County and the entire state, bringing those sweet, good-paying jobs.

$61 Million Investment, 100 Jobs!

This project? A whopping $61 million investment that's expected to create up to 100 primo jobs, way above the Baldwin County average wage. The plan is phased: first, admin offices, engineering, and fabrication; then, two welded stainless steel pipe mills for advanced industries across North America!

BUTTING's CEO Speaks!

Marcel Bartels, CEO of BUTTING Group's Plant Construction Division, said this ceremony is more than just groundbreaking; it's a symbol of their intent to grow strong, lasting roots in the U.S. He emphasized their family-owned legacy and pride in bringing their tradition of excellence to Alabama.

Confidence in Baldwin County

BUTTING USA's CEO, Adrian Rochofski, stated their location choice reflects total confidence in the region's workforce and growth potential. By planting that live oak, they're showing their commitment to growing and thriving here for generations!

Local Leaders Excited

Loxley Mayor Richard Teal and other local leaders are stoked. Mayor Teal said this moment plants a promise, reflecting shared goals of growth, sustainability, and opportunity for our citizens.
