Burr & Forman congratulates Butting, a global stainless steel pipe manufacturer, on its decision to establish its North American headquarters and first U.S. production facility in Baldwin County, Alabama. The company plans to invest approximately $61 million in a two-phase project that is expected to create up to 100 high-quality jobs.

This milestone investment marks a key step in Butting’s international growth strategy and will support operations across the U.S. market. The Alabama facility will serve as a central hub for manufacturing, logistics, and corporate functions.

Phase 1, expected to break ground in Fall 2025, will include the development of Butting’s North American headquarters, engineering operations, and the fabrication of stainless-steel spools, components, and cryogenic pipe systems. Phase 2 will expand production capabilities with the addition of two advanced stainless steel welded pipe mills and enhancements to the company’s cryogenic portfolio and fabrication operations.

Burr & Forman represented Butting in connection with the site selection and project development. The firm’s team includes Cheri Gatlin, John Lassiter, Warren Matthews, David Wanhatalo, and Natalie Cosmich.

Burr & Forman has played a key role in attracting and supporting major economic development projects across the South, contributing to over $35 billion in capital investment and the creation of more than 38,000 jobs. With deep experience in site selection, state and local tax incentives, construction and project development, and operational planning, the firm partners with clients in Mobile and throughout the region and the country to support long-term growth in manufacturing, logistics, and other key industries.
