Two new businesses, Simpson Strong-Tie and Veyer, are locating warehousing and distribution facilities in Mobile’s South Alabama Logistics Park.
Simpson Strong-Tie is a manufacturer of structural construction products, including steel connectors, fasteners and anchors. Veyer, a wholly owned subsidiary of Office Depot, provides logistics and final-mile delivery services to Fortune 500 and eCommerce companies.
Simpson is making an investment of $7.5 million, while Veyer is investing $9.8 million.
“It’s always a good day when we welcome new businesses into Mobile,” said Mobile Mayor Sandy Stimpson. “These are two great companies, and their investment in our area is a testament to all we have to offer. I look forward to Simpson Strong-Tie and Veyer providing great opportunities for Mobilians as they expand their businesses.”
The announcement comes as the Port of Mobile, about 12 miles from the industrial park, continues to grow.
“Today’s announcement highlights the strategic investments happening in anticipation of the Port of Mobile’s growth,” said Mobile Chamber President and CEO Bradley Byrne. “Veyer and Simpson Strong-Tie’s decision to establish facilities at the South Alabama Logistics Park underscores the confidence in Mobile’s future as a leading logistics hub. We are excited to welcome these esteemed companies to Mobile and look forward to the positive impact they will have on our community.”
