Southwark Metal Manufacturing Company Plans Hernando, Mississippi, Operations

03/21/2026
Southwark Metal Manufacturing Company, a manufacturer of sheet metal products and HVAC components, plans to establish operations in Hernando, Mississippi. The $29 million project is expected to create 25 jobs in Desoto County.

The investment will include the construction of a new manufacturing facility. Production is scheduled to begin in 2027.

“Southwark has been family-owned since 1946, and our values remain rooted in supporting our employees and strengthening the communities we call home. Our continued investment in Hernando is a reflection of the talented workforce here and the strong local partnerships that make growth possible. We are proud to expand in DeSoto County, create new jobs and build on relationships that will sustain this community for years to come,” said Bill Spiegel, President, Southwark Metal Manufacturing Company.

To support the project the Mississippi Development Authority (MDA) is providing assistance through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive, or MFLEX, program. The city of Hernando and DeSoto County also are assisting with the project.

“Companies expand where they’ve already seen results and where growth makes solid business sense. Southwark Metal Manufacturing found both in DeSoto County, not once, but twice. Its Northwest Mississippi location allows the company to operate efficiently, stay competitive and keep moving forward without unnecessary obstacles. When businesses can execute without disruption, investments like this are the outcome,” Mississippi Development Authority Executive Director Bill Cork noted.

Southwark Metal Manufacturing Company produces ductwork, fittings, dampers, and related air distribution products used in residential, commercial, and industrial heating and cooling systems. The company supplies contractors, distributors, and mechanical system installers with standardized and custom metal components designed for durability, ease of installation, and code compliance.
