Taber Extrusions Expands in Russellville, Arkansas
23 July 2024 - 9:30AM
Taber Extrusions is expanding its facility in Russellville,
Arkansas, introducing the largest direct extrusion press in North
America. The company is investing over $60 million in the expansion
and expects to create 70 new jobs.
The new state-of-the-art, 10,000-ton press is designed to meet
the rigorous demands of the aerospace industry. It is expected to
go live in 2026.
"We are excited for this expansion as it provides the capability
and capacity needed in the large shape extrusion market,”
said Chuck Stout, President of Taber Extrusions.
“This investment highlights our commitment to continue to serve our
national defense, aerospace, and large industrial market
partners.”
Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders joined company executives and
state economic development officials for the announcement of the
expansion at the 2024 Farnborough International Airshow. The
announcement was made at the Forum Main Stage at the USA
Partnership Pavilion.
“Announcements like this don’t happen by accident,” said
Governor Sanders. “It took pro-growth policies in Little
Rock, a pro-business mentality in Russellville, and a proactive
presence at events like the Farnborough Airshow to secure Taber’s
investment. I’m grateful to this great Arkansas company for their
continued commitment to the Natural State.”
Taber Extrusions has been in business in the Russellville area
for five decades. The company pioneered a process for extruding
rectangular billet which enables the company to extrude solid
profiles up to 31 inches wide or hollows up to 29 inches.
“It’s an honor to join Taber Extrusions at the Farnborough
International Airshow to announce its latest expansion in
Russellville Arkansas,” said Clint O’Neal, executive
director of the Arkansas Economic Development Commission.
“Taber Extrusions has operated in Arkansas since 1976, and we look
forward to many more years of business success for them.
Congratulations to the City of Russellville on this economic
development win, which creates 70 new jobs in the River Valley
region.”
