Metal work firm Dynasty Fab is beginning operations at the Chickasaw Marine Terminal, just north of Mobile.
The Michigan-based firm, which specializes in advanced welding and fabrication, says the new Alabama site “will add dock access and large manufacturing abilities. This site is planned to further our maritime customer base and fabricate parts that are large to ship by road.”
“Expanding to Chickasaw is a milestone for Dynasty Fab and a necessary step in our mission to deliver precision fabrication at scale. The Port of Chickasaw gives us access to maritime shipping and a skilled regional workforce, which will allow us to better serve our defense and industrial clients across the Gulf Coast and beyond,” said Zach Jeakle, owner of Dynasty Fab.
The company, which works in defense, aerospace and automotive sectors, plans to invest $2 million in capital improvements and hire about 30 workers. The new operations will be located in the Chickasaw Marine Terminal, part of the Port of Chickasaw that was acquired by Zarzour Companies in 2023.
“We were excited about the opportunity to bring this area of the Port of Chickasaw back to its former glory. It is a community and area that is rich in history, especially during the early 20th century and into World War 2,” said Matt Zarzour with Zarzour Companies. “The addition of Dynasty Fab, as well as Premium Plate, has validated what we wanted to accomplish. We are grateful to Zach and his team for committing to our facility, as well as this community.
Dynasty Fab was founded in 2017 in a garage workshop in Michigan, but has grown rapidly and expanded capabilities, including the ability to work with high performance materials such as titanium. This is its first location outside of Michigan.
“This expansion represents a big step forward, not only for Dynasty Fab but for the City of Chickasaw and Mobile County,” said Bradley Byrne, president and CEO of the Mobile Chamber. “This investment strengthens our region’s position as a hub for advanced manufacturing and reflects our momentum in attracting companies that thrive on innovation.”
Chickasaw Mayor Barry Broadhead added, “The City of Chickasaw is very happy to welcome Dynasty Fab to the Port of Chickasaw. This new industry is a result of years of collaboration with stakeholders and the major improvements in our infrastructure. For the citizens, this will be added job opportunities right here at home.”
