Global manufacturing firm Jabil will invest about $70 million over three years to build a 100,000-square-foot facility with X-ray sterilization capabilities for medical devices in Marshall County, creating 24 new jobs. The project is supported by the Mississippi Development Authority through its MFLEX program, along with assistance from local and regional partners. Gov. Tate Reeves said Jabil’s investment reflects Mississippi’s growing momentum in advanced manufacturing and confidence in the state’s skilled workforce.
