WYNNE, Ark. – Mueller Streamline Co. has announced an investment of more than $7 million to expand its manufacturing facility in Wynne, Arkansas. The expansion is expected to create 60 new jobs over two years.
Gregory L. Christopher, CEO and Chairman of Mueller Industries, said, “Since our acquisition of Halstead Industries in 1998, our companies have not only supported the local economies of the City of Wynne and Cross County, but they have also invested in further expansion across the State of Arkansas. Among other initiatives, we built a new distribution center on the Wynne campus to support retail distribution, and have acquired additional operations in Springdale and Fayetteville."
Christopher added, “Mueller is making this additional $7.5 million investment to expand our distribution and packaging operations. This investment will initially add another 40 jobs, thereby increasing the number of employees at our Wynne campus to approximately 170. We have long appreciated the work ethic and spirit of the employees in all of our Arkansas-based operations, and this most recent investment reflects our commitment to and belief in the hard -working people of Wynne and Cross County.”
The company is committed to 40 new jobs initially, with the expectation of placing them within the first year of the expansion, with an additional 20 new positions in year two.
Plans for the expansion and upgrade at the facility in Wynne began in the first quarter of 2025.
