Abby making 2nd expansion in MS

JACKSON, Miss. – Abby Manufacturing, a company that manufactures and produces steel and aluminum products for agriculture, construction, transportation, and military industries, is expanding its Walnut, Miss., location with a $1.4M corporate investment. It’s the second expansion this year, and will create 10 additional jobs, which would increase Abby’s employment in Tippah County to about 140 workers. “Abby Manufacturing’s second expansion in North Mississippi in less than a year is evidence of a strong economy and supportive business climate, both of which encourage Mississippi’s existing businesses to grow and create new jobs in our state,” Gov. Phil Bryant said in a media release from the Mississippi Development Authority. In April, the firm announced the addition of a new laser cutting machine and press brake at the Walnut location. Abby Manufacturing also has operations in Ashland and New Albany, Miss. (Source: WCBI 11/13/18)
