The cutting-edge operation for SEHomes, a subsidiary of Clayton Homes, is located on 27 acres in Russellville’s Industrial Park #2.

The facility, which was relocated from its previous facility in Double Springs, features advanced technology, such as motorized decking and shingle systems, state-of-the-art adjustable floor jigs, self-enclosed paint booths, advanced remote controlled cranes, and it allows for team members to build larger homes up to 86 feet in length.

Gov. Bentley, along with Rep. Johnny Mack Morrow and Sen. Roger Bedford, welcomed the expansion and the new job opportunities during the event and praised the local governments in assisting with the positive move for the area.

Bentley said the decision by Clayton Homes to expand and bring in new jobs was a compliment to the workers of the state.

“Seeing something like this—this expansion here by Clayton Homes—reminds me that it is all about lives and people,” Bentley said.

“I truly believe we have some of the best workforce and work ethics in Alabama.”

U.S. Representative Robert Aderholt said he expects to see growth in rural Alabama continue.

“Manufactured housing as an industry has seen some tough times,” Aderholt said.

“But it is good to see Clayton Homes do something like this and follow through.

“Governor Bentley has been committed to rural Alabama and this is the end product of that dedication.”
