SteelFab plans a new operation in Columbia that is expected to create 100 jobs, the South Carolina Department of Commerce announced October 27. The structural-steel business expects to invest $30 million in the Richland County project.
The new facility will be located at 1030 Metso Way. Commerce said it will increase the company’s manufacturing capabilities for the construction industry. The announcement identifies it as an additional South Carolina operation for a company with four existing locations in the state.
Headquartered in Charlotte, SteelFab engineers, manufactures and supplies fabricated structural steel and other steel products. Its network includes 18 facilities across the United States, according to the state release. The Columbia site will become part of that manufacturing network.
Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2026. The state’s Coordinating Council for Economic Development approved job development credits related to the project. Commerce directed job seekers to SteelFab’s careers website; the release presents the employment figure and opening date as expectations.
