Expanding Industrial Resources in Abilene
B&J Welding Supply will invest $15.3 million to build a new 40,000-square-foot facility in Abilene, Texas.
B&J Welding Supply began serving the Abilene community through a temporary location while developing plans for its permanent facility. The new facility will strengthen B&J’s presence in the Abilene region, expanding its ability to provide industrial supplies and services to businesses, including those in manufacturing, healthcare and food and beverage.
“Strategic economic development means looking beyond a single investment to understand how it can strengthen Abilene for years to come. DCOA’s partnership with B&J Welding Supply brings a $15.3 million investment to our community while strengthening the resources and support available to industries already operating in Abilene.”
A Long-Term Commitment to Abilene
B&J Welding Supply’s investment will create 24 full-time jobs and retain three existing full-time employees while establishing a permanent presence in the Abilene region.
“Our decision to invest in Abilene goes beyond building a new facility. It’s about establishing lasting relationships and becoming a trusted partner to the businesses and industries that make this community thrive. We have built our reputation on exceptional customer service and a commitment to the communities we serve. We’re excited to continue that tradition in Abilene and look forward to growing alongside this community for years to come.”
This project reflects the DCOA’s work to strengthen Abilene’s existing business community by understanding the needs of local companies and bringing investments that add resources, capabilities and opportunities in Abilene.
