MSS Steel Tubes is to launch in the US with a new factory in Memphis that create 129 new jobs.

The steel manufacturer will invest $6 million to create new job opportunities in Shelby County.

It also offers an average annual salary and perks of $47,000 for the new roles.

The company is a subsidiary of the Portuguese-based Metalogalva Group, which is a national player in steel engineering.

Margarida Caetano, CFO of Metalogalva, said: “Our business relies heavily on fast, affordable, and reliable transportation, and Memphis is uniquely positioned to meet our requirements.

“This region is a destination of choice for manufacturers, and we believe that we will find locally the answer to a wide range of ancillary needs to our industrial activity.”
