Honda supplier Unipres Alabama is investing $6.3 million and will create 10 jobs with the latest expansion of its stamping plant in Steele in St. Clair County.
The St. Clair County Economic Development Council announced the project, which follows a $40 million expansion of the plant in 2018 that created 70 new jobs.
Unipres Alabama is a direct supplier to Honda Manufacturing of Alabama in Lincoln and Honda’s East Liberty Plant in Ohio.
“We are always happy to support Unipres and their growth in our community,” Steele Mayor Roger Adams said. “Steele is proud to count Unipres as one of our great industrial companies. They are one of our largest employers and we congratulate them on their continued growth and success.”
St. Clair County Commission Chairman Paul Manning also acknowledged the expansion.
“On behalf of the St. Clair County Commission, I would like to congratulate Unipres on their continued growth in St. Clair County, and we wish them continued success,” he said.
