Haskell’s $5 Million Plan to Expand Jacksonville’s Steel Fabrication
Jacksonville-based Haskell, a leader in engineering, construction, and design, has invested $5 million to expand its steel fabrication capabilities. This project, a 20,460-square-foot addition, will support both internal production and external client needs. Equipped with advanced automation, the facility positions Haskell to meet the rising demand for precision steel components in construction and manufacturing.
Project overview and purpose of expansion
Haskell’s new facility in Northwest Jacksonville marks a major step in its growth. This $5 million expansion will fabricate structural elements like stairs, platforms, rails, and skids, meeting increased demand across multiple industries. As Vice President of Manufacturing Ryan Hollister noted, the facility will streamline production and help Haskell ensure consistent, high-quality output. Strategically located near major transport routes, the facility allows Haskell to offer timely delivery for projects requiring tight schedules and reliable service.
The expansion is as much about technological upgrades as it is about space. Automation in cutting, welding, and shaping steel enhances production precision while reducing material waste. Haskell’s facility aligns with best practices for maximizing material use and cutting down production time. The new equipment positions Haskell to produce complex components more quickly and with lower environmental impact.
Haskell’s role in the Jacksonville manufacturing landscape
Haskell has been a cornerstone of Jacksonville’s manufacturing scene, and this expansion reaffirms its local impact. By adding an automated facility, Haskell brings more operations in-house, gaining greater control over quality and schedules. This, in turn, makes Haskell an even more attractive partner for clients needing seamless project management and delivery. In addition to contributing to Haskell’s growth, the facility strengthens Jacksonville’s manufacturing base, creating new jobs and business opportunities in the region.
Demand for fabricated steel components is growing across construction, energy, and industrial sectors. Haskell’s expanded capacity and automation-driven facility allow it to meet this demand while maintaining quality. Hollister shared that the facility’s capabilities are well-suited to producing durable, high-quality elements for projects requiring both reliability and precision.
