1. Matagorda County in Texas to Get 600 Jobs Because of Steel Pipes Maker,
EmploymentCrossing.com Finds 184,000 Jobs in State
Texas is going to get 600 jobs as a result of a $1.3 billion investment from a European steel
pipes maker.
Pasadena, CA (PRWEB) February 19, 2013 -- Texas Governor Rick Perry has announced that Tenaris, a global
manufacturer of steel pipe products, will be building a new factory in Matagorda County. The $1.3 billion
investment in the state will result in 600 jobs. The Luxembourg-based company’s investment is yet another sign
that the Lone Star state is successfully attracting businesses.
Texas is also providing $6 million in support through the Texas Enterprise Fund (TEF) to close the deal on this
factory. Gov. Perry’s trip to Italy last year and his meeting with the company’s top officials is said to have
contributed to the firm’s decision to invest in Texas.
Tenaris already has its North American headquarters in Houston and the factory is going to be built in Bay City,
the main city in Matagorda County.
