Germany-Based Butting Plans Loxley, Alabama, Production Operations

07/24/2025
Germany-based Butting, a stainless-steel pipe manufacturer, plans to establish operations in Loxley, Alabama. The $61 million project is expected to create 100 jobs in Baldwin County.

The investment will include the construction of the company’s new North American headquarters and production facility, located on a 50+ acre site.

“Our decision to locate in Baldwin County was driven by the area’s overall attractiveness to live and work, a skilled labor force, proximity to key transportation routes and welcoming business environment,” said Adrian Rochofski, CEO & Managing Director of Butting USA.

Butting specialized in stainless steel pipe technology, clad pipes, customized spools and components, as well as cryogenic pipe and valve technology systems. The company currently has operations in Germany, Finland, Brazil, Canada, and China.

“Butting’s decision to launch its North American headquarters and manufacturing operation in Baldwin County is a powerful endorsement of Alabama’s strengths in workforce readiness, industrial infrastructure and global business relationships,” noted Ellen McNair, Secretary of the Alabama Department of Commerce.

“The project is the culmination of the hard work that we as partners have put in to develop our community, product, workforce, and infrastructure,” added Lee Johnson, Executive Vice President of the Baldwin County Economic Development Alliance (BCEDA).
