Bay Steel expanding in Mobile

Mobile, Ala.-based Bay Steel Corp. announced expansion plans by investing $6.29M, and hiring five additional employees, for a new operational facility beginning in the first quarter of 2020. The family-owned business previously purchased 32 acres on Todd Acres Drive in southwest Mobile, across from Mobile Commerce Park; and has decided to construct a 76,500-square-foot office- and-warehousing space on those 7.5 acres, according to Neal Collins, VP of Bay Steel. The company will be moving from its existing facility at the Port of Mobile. “Our new operations will allow us to be more efficient with our space, triple the number of overhead cranes and give us room to grow, and we’re excited about that,” said Collins. Bay Steel is a steel service center for carbon and galvanized steel and sells a variety of products to support industrial, marine boat-building, commercial, transportation, and chemical and energy businesses.
