Columbiad Fabrication and Aviation plans $4.8 million expansion in Tennessee

Precision metal fabricator Columbiad Fabrication and Aviation LLC will invest $4.8 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Tennessee, relocating its existing operations from Paris to Puryear. The project is expected to create 144 jobs over the next five years.

The new facility, an existing building that has housed the company’s welding operations for the past year, will allow all the company’s operations to be located under one roof.
