Mississippi is continuing to reel in economic development projects, with Steel industry supplier P.C. Campana Inc. being the latest company to set up shop in the Magnolia State.
The company announced a $3.43 million corporate investment in Vicksburg that will create more than a dozen jobs. P.C. Campana produces alloyed cored wire, cored wire feeders, and metal-cutting products used in the steel manufacturing industry. Over the next three years, the company will move two manufacturing lines into two existing buildings at the Port of Vicksburg.
“Mississippi is proud to welcome P.C. Campana to Vicksburg. This latest investment in the River City is another clear sign that our momentum continues strong across the state,” Gov. Tate Reeves said.
“When companies choose Mississippi, they know they’re getting a world-class workforce and communities that are ready to help them succeed — all in one of the best states in the nation for business. Industrial investments like this sustain families for generations and keep our economy competitive and moving forward.”
The Mississippi Development Authority is financially assisting with this project through the Mississippi Flexible Tax Incentive program. P.C. Campana expects to fill 17 new jobs over the next five years.
“As a family-owned, American company, we have always believed that strong partnerships and local presence matter. Expanding into Vicksburg allows us to better serve steelmakers across the southern United States with faster response times, reduced freight costs, and the same dependable products and service we have delivered since 1969,” P.C. Campana, Inc. CEO Pat Campana Jr. said.
“We are excited to become part of the Vicksburg community and to build long-term relationships that support both the steel industry and the region’s continued growth.”
