Zekelman Industries plans to invest more than $6 million to expand steel tube production at its facility in Jefferson County, creating a combined 91 jobs, Alabama Commerce Secretary Ellen McNair announced.

Chicago-based Zekelman will invest nearly $2.3 million to upgrade the manufacturing capabilities and production capacity at its Atlas Tube facility at 171 Cleage Drive in unincorporated Jefferson County, creating 33 jobs over a three-year period.

Zekelman will invest an additional $3.9 million to equip an existing warehouse to become a new Wheatland Tube facility in Birmingham, where it will perform finishing processes on torque tubes produced by Atlas. This project will create 58 jobs over the same period.
