Mississippi Metal Fabrication Companies

About Metal Fabrication in Mississippi

Mississippi's metal fabrication industry is anchored by the state's significant shipbuilding sector. Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, a division of Huntington Ingalls Industries, is one of the largest shipyards in the United States and the state's largest manufacturing employer. The yard builds destroyers, amphibious assault ships, and Coast Guard cutters, driving demand for structural steel, pipe fabrication, and specialty welding throughout the Gulf Coast region. The state's automotive industry has grown significantly with the Nissan assembly plant in Canton and Toyota's assembly plant in Blue Springs, along with their supplier networks. This expansion has attracted metal stamping, welding, and machining operations to serve the automotive supply chain. Mississippi's low operating costs, available workforce, and proximity to Gulf Coast energy and marine industries make it an attractive location for fabrication operations. The state also supports fabrication for agriculture, forestry products, and petrochemical facilities along the Gulf Coast.
