Steel company SSAB plans to expand its operations in Axis, Alabama. The $74 million project is expected to create 12 jobs.

The investment will include the construction of a new facility which will expand the company’s heat-treat capacity. Operations are scheduled to begin in 2027.

“This expansion will bolster our capacity to produce high-strength steel brands such as Hardox and Strenx and will also increase SSAB Alabama’s truck shipping capacity. This investment underscores our dedication to our customers and the industry, and we are excited about the opportunities it will bring to our facility and the community,” said Andy Bramstedt, General Manager of SSAB Alabama.
