Loftis Steel & Aluminum Expands Decatur, Alabama, Fabrication Operations

09/01/2025
Steel fabrication company Loftis Steel & Aluminum, plans to expand its operations in Decatur, Alabama. The $6.5 million project is expected to create 20 jobs in Limestone County.

The company’s new manufacturing facility will include fiber lasers, nitrogen generation systems, and other precision cutting systems.

“Loftis selected Decatur for our second base of operation due to its strategic proximity to our Nashville operations,” said Tom Russell, President & CEO of Loftis Steel & Aluminum. “It provides a springboard for us to more effectively service the ever expanding North Alabama market.

Loftis Steel & Aluminum specializes in distributing a wide variety of metals, including aluminum, stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, copper, and special alloys, and provides onsite metal processing services such as laser cutting, waterjet cutting, plasma cutting, and sawing.

“Loftis Steel & Aluminum’s decision to invest in Decatur highlights the strategic advantages of doing business in Alabama,” noted Ellen McNair, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce. “This project brings together innovation, craftsmanship, and opportunity — all qualities that define our state’s manufacturing sector. We welcome Loftis to Limestone County and look forward to their growth here.”

“Their decision to establish a new facility in North Alabama is a testament to the strength of our workforce, the quality of our infrastructure and the pro-business environment we continue to foster,” added Jeremy Nails, President and CEO of the Morgan County Economic Development Association.
