Weir to invest $15 million in Mississippi plant

The Weir Group is investing an additional $15 million in its Newton, Miss., manufacturing facility as part of a total $50 million plan supporting an additional 150 jobs at the plant. When the investment program is complete, more than 400 people will be employed there, a 60 percent increase from 2016.

The Newton facility, one of the company’s largest manufacturing operations, produces ground-engaging tools for mining and infrastructure needs. The expansion is slated to be complete by August 2019.
