Pipe and Steel Industrial Fabricators Inc. plans to invest $5.1 million to expand its steel processing and fabrication facility in Livingston Parish, boosting beam-cutting capacity and supporting continued growth in Louisiana’s manufacturing sector.
The expansion will be the company’s second in two years, following a 2023 project that added 8,000 square feet to the company’s structural steel shop and 14,000 square feet to its pipe fabrication facility, along with a new permanent covered blasting and painting area.
The new expansion is expected to create 20 new direct jobs with an average annual salary of $62,400 while retaining 70 existing positions.
Pipe and Steel’s investment aligns with the Capital Region leg of LED’s Driving Louisiana Opportunity tour, a statewide initiative spotlighting employers that strengthen communities and drive economic growth.
The expansion will include a new steel processing center, upgrades to existing fabrication facilities with advanced equipment to improve productivity and safety, and major electrical infrastructure improvements to increase capacity and support future growth.
“Pipe and Steel sits in the epicenter of the best industrial labor pool in the state, Livingston Parish,” said Pipe and Steel President and CEO Kylie Sparks in a prepared statement. “The people of our parish are key in building the industrial sector in the Gulf Coast region and the state of Louisiana.”
Construction on the expansion is expected to begin in January 2026 and conclude in June 2026.
