Case Study: Southwire expands its Starkville manufacturing facility with Gray Construction

Southwire expands Starkville facility by 380,000 s.f. with Gray Construction

Southwire, a family-owned manufacturer of wire and cable products, faced the challenge of expanding its existing Starkville, MS manufacturing facility without disrupting ongoing plant operations. The company selected Gray Construction to provide design-build services for this large-scale project, which required an aggressive timeline and plans for LEED certification.

Gray implemented a meticulously sequenced construction plan to keep the plant fully operational, expertly managing activities from demolition to equipment installation with minimal site traffic. The solution resulted in a 380,000-square-foot expansion that was completed in 14 months. This project, one of the largest industrial investments in the region's history, added 130 new jobs and positioned Southwire to continue its leadership in the U.S. market.
